Hi all,

I wanted to ask if anyone has any tips for replacing the front vent window rubbers. I've purchased new rubber from our friends at B-Projects.

Currently I'm in the process of removing the old hard rubber and general preparation getting ready to glue in the new rubber. Good time to add a fresh coat of semi flat black paint on the upright between the vent glass and the main window.

The nut was rusted badly on the pivot shaft and twisted the shaft off right at the nut. To fix the shaft I'm planning on welding on a short piece of bolt with the MIG to replace the missing threads.

So if anyone has tips on getting the rubber glued in neatly let me know...

Thanks!

Edit: Now that it's all apart it looks like no glue was used in the original assembly. Just the rubber pressed into the channels.

I was going to say Gary, that the rubber is not glued in. You have too much chance of stuffing it up.
If you are keen, get some non-hardening 'mastic', same as used for windscreen rubber, and put a 1/16th bead inside the channel of the metal frame.

when i done mine, i didnt use glue, coz it seal as pretty good, and goes in pretty deep in the door,

mine doesnt leak or whistle

Agreed -- I just put new Nissan ones on last year. Nissan didn't use glue, or sealer, neither did I.

It seals very good and took out maybe 80% of the noise.m Well worth it.
