| Where to buy a window seal tool. | |
I thought I'd post after finally getting the correct tool for this job after a long search. I'd tried all my local motor factors, tool suppliers, etc., and eventually found one online at a well known retailer, but I wasn't prepared to pay £26 plus £15 carriage for something the size and complexity of a screwdriver. If you're not aware of what I'm on about, the small rear windows in a hardtop, either side of the door, are held in by a rubber seal which has a 'locking strip' in the middle. Some afermarket side windows are the same. It's dead easy to remove but an absolute PIG to get back in without the proper tool, which is basically a handle with a diamond shaped wire prong in the end. I'd removed the windows to do a respray. On a previous rebuild I did manage to insert them using small screwdrivers but it took several hours. Anyway, I found the tool at http://www.northeasternrubber.com/ for £12.50 inc. vat & carriage.. Look under 'insert tools'. It was despatched immediately. They also sell the seals. By the way, always insert the locking strip on the inside of the vehicle (as fitted by the factory) as once removed, the glass comes out very easily.. Make the most of this life, you may not have skis or a Landy in the next.
