Front/Rear Windscreen Seals

Post by Jono »

Is there anyway to replace these seals with generic new ones?

Mine just looks a bit old..

Why don't you try tyre shine on them? It works just as well.......

Or maybe the armaguard stuff?

I think you can go to a windscreen repair shop and they can fit a universal windscreen rubber, I'm gonna get mine replaced as it is leaking at the top.

I second the tyre shinning, mine came up good as new. Will need another coat soon though...

Do the plastic rain runoff guide just below the windscreen tucked under the bonnet as well, mine was looking reaaaaaally faded.

Had my 100k Service done there, cost just under $1000, thought a little steep, but didnt get a discount and the work was excellent!, car ran smoothest it ever has after seeing them and didnt have single problem until it was sold 1 year later.

Now heading back with new FTO, not looking forward to down time without it but cant wait to see how she runs after :) :)
Raven, you sure you're answering in the right thread??? 8O
