jtek 0 Posted January 15, 2008 Both of my rear quarter window seals are leaking a lot and leaking onto the boot floor/seat well area. I rang the local Pug Dealer who were asking 50 quid per side, which is not an option lol. It is using the normal rear windows, but it does appear the seals have shrunk slightly over time. Do GSF do them or is it time for the attack of Bathroom Sealant? failing that i may put up a Wanted Thread. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Fenton 1,542 Posted January 15, 2008 Remove them, then stand with part of the seal under your feet and play tug of war. Believe it or not they will stretch and this might be enough to cure your leak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simes 248 2 Cars Posted January 15, 2008 Pug are the only suppliers. Silicone sealer doesn't work that well unless you use liberally which will look s*ite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
damien 22 1 Cars Posted January 15, 2008 i have the same problem, mine has shrunk over time and you can see the water running into the car and sitting under the rear seats. im looking into "borrowing" some rear seals from other cars to see if we can get away with a cheaper option.

McPikie 0 Posted January 17, 2008 I'm in on this one too Thinking about changing to non-opnening windows Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jrod 7 Posted January 17, 2008 I'm in on this one too Thinking about changing to non-opnening windows My non opening ones leaked aswell, swapped the rubbers and voila no problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtek 0 Posted January 17, 2008 are the rubbers for the non opening windows the same as the ones for the opening windows by any chance? i wasn't even aware that they did fixed rear window versions, or was it a phase 1 thing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pob 1 Posted January 17, 2008 are the rubbers for the non opening windows the same as the ones for the opening windows by any chance? i wasn't even aware that they did fixed rear window versions, or was it a phase 1 thing? I had this problem a while back. The Non-opening seals are £16 each the opening version are nearly £40 each. I tried the re-sealing method, but as said they shrink and just don't seal properly. You could try finding some in the scrappers, but I just bought some new ones... a lot less effort. Dan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

richsmells 2 Posted January 18, 2008 Mine leaked, so I removed the windows and seals. I soaked the seals in a bucket of hot water so they became more pliable, then stretched them out. When fitting them back in i used a bead of silicone on the metal lip of the car. No more leaks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
