Sunliner window rubbers

[sheppo]

Spectum rubbers will make me up 30 mtrs of wrap around window rubber for $380. Does any one want to buy half as thats all i need, this is a special run as they don't stock it anymore. $190 for 15 metres thats more than enough to do a Sunny, it,s not cheap but what do you do. I need to know ASAP.

John & lyn yes it is the wrap around rubbers i am getting made, unfortunately some one has beaten you to my other half But if you want some let me know and i will get them to make me some more, they will only make runs of 30 metres but as you see there is a demand so i'm sure some one else will buy it.

Hi,

When I rebuilt my Sunliner a few years back I went thru all these options.

The rubbers you are showing might be the original profile, but they are a bitch to use & get.

Seeing in almost all instances new perspex windows will be fitted, I found it easier to make the new windows fit the existing opening with a gap (from memory) of about 6 to 8 mm all around. I then flush mounted the windows using readily available window rubbers.

I got mine at a local upholstery shop, but Peter Jackson ( & others) have the standard H section rubbers with insert strips, in varying widths & thicknesses.

The rubber I used had the (average) thickness of the fibreglass body panels as one size, & the thickness of the perspex as the other.
So from memory it was a standard H section, one leg being 8mm (for perspex) & other leg 4 or 5mm (for fibreglass)

We installed them using the special insert placement tool (sort of like a wire ended screwdriver). The trimming of the new perspex windows we did using a linishing attachment on an angle grinder.

End result looked great, & nothing unusual to try & buy.

I cant see why the same couldnt be done easily still.

Have a look thru the old thread I did on "Jailbarjuice Sunliner Restoration" & I'm sure the pix & details will still be there.

The rubber I used as shown is available from O'Brien Glass and works well and makes installation almost easy, but you need two sets of hands and a special tool to instal the locking strip. When you purchase the rubber you need to trim off a section below the locking strip with a stanley knife to get the correct profile. I used the old windows as templates and made replacements from lexon and after a little trimming they slipped right in. You need one person in the van to install as you do with old style windscreens. Photos show profile after trimming and installed window. You can instal the locking strip without the special tool but it is easier with it.
