Installing Window Rubbers

[mikeoz22]

Hi all, I need some help and advice please. Before I swear (more than I already have) and undo all the work I've done so far, I need some help and advice please on how to fit the rear window on the valiant. I've tried fitting the rubber round the window then prising the rubber over the aluminium cladding - that didn't work.

Any advice gratefully received.

Cheers

Mike

hi mike

it's a two man job, one man inside and one man outside the van.

fit the rubber to the window and run a strong piece of string (brickies line is pretty good but might cut the rubber so something a little thicker is better) around the window rubber inside the pinch making sure the the string ends overlap each other by an inch so.

put the window up against the opening with the string ends on the inside of the window. use your hands to press the rubber into place as much as possible.

making sure the person on the outside is pushing the window against the opening, the person on the inside then pulls on the strings, "undoing" the string, which should pull the rubber and cause it to pop over the lip and seal the rubber in place.

i just found this youtube link that shows how to do it.
