tailgate window seal
Can the seal/rubber that goes around the rear screen be replaced with changing the whole window? Just got an issue with the body shop over this at the mo

it is just possible but i wouldnt advise it as a diy job 
i did mine and had one hell of a job,it sits under the glass and you really need to remove the glass to fit the rubber around it,however there are 2 types of rubber,1 for fitting when the glass is removed and 1 for renewing with glass in place,problem is the later type doesnt fit in place very well at all as the sealant used on the screen stops it from pushing in properly so you then have to start cutting sealant away and risk cutting paintwork which then is a perfect rust trap, this is why i struggled to refit the proper one i have the push in type sat in the garage still
