Help with fitting window seals

Posted By : Jarrod Jones, 26-Jul-2007, 12:51pm

Hi I've not had my Dolomite long but it is missing the window rubber on the rear passenger door. How do I go about fitting this? I have removed all the door trim but the window seems to be in the way whether it is up or down. Do I have to take it out and if so how? Also how do you get those damn clips to go on? They are a nightmare!
Any help much appreciated thank you!

It is a fiddle but if you get a factory repair manual, as opposed to a Haynes type manual, there are very clear instructions to remove and refit the window. To refit the winsow rubbers is possible with the window in, but it halves the time to do the job if you remove it! You may need to make up a tool to secure the clips for the rubber to the door, in the same way that you would on a Herald, Canley Classics sell a ready made tool I believe.

Regards,

Mark

  Thanks for that. Will have a look for that tool from canley i think. Meanwhile I have obtained a spare door which is a bonus because without the seal the door I've got on is rotten. Might be easier to just put this door on rather than the seal! LOL Not sure I want a patchwork Sprint tho till I've saved enough for the spray up! I'm only a student!
