That one has sold - is it making its way to you?

If no, there is ANOTHER ONE : http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-NOS-Genu...-/192000825842

Sorry to muck up the resto post again -- I would be pulling hairs doing the intensive labour Jack and the Beanstalk performed and commend those efforts.
Heres a shortcut if the piggybank is full.

Not guilty I'm afraid !


Are these the same FINIS number as UK cars ?

No FINIS number offered, only the SEKURIT number on the glass

Does the rubber just fit onto the frame? My point is does it need to be bonded/glued to the frame?

Jack and the Beanstalk

I also asked this question and didn't get clear answers but went with bonding the seal with the bonding glue. Having said that i would recommend

From my experience with this resto, if I had to install just a new rubber seal I
would:

01. Heat the rubber, either in a hot water bucket or a quick-build hotbox with heat gun or hairdryer to get the seal a bit more flexible and easy to work with.

If your using hot water to heat the rubber, remember to blow the hollow tube out so water does not sit inside.

02. Do a test run installation without glue to determine how the seal sits and get a shape going. Start with one end of the seal in the middle of the back end of the glass. You have to push the Seal until it clips in over the lip. work the seal around until the two ends meet back in the middle.You might have some overdraft at the end, only cut this later on final installation as you will need to apply some glue where the two ends meet.

03.Once you happy with how it looks and is sitting correctly, slowly and carefully strip / peel the rubber seal out

Final Installation

04. I would recommend using a good quality moderate setting superglue gel for rubber seals or maybe even hot glue might work.

05. During final installation apply a spot weld technique with the glue to the frame to hold the rubber seal in position.

06. Once you get to the end cut the excess off to allow the two ends to meet and superglue together so it looks like one piece.

07. Go back and check that the seal is clipped in properly. Once satisfied allow to dry and settle for a day and install your panel.

Notes:

a) Prep is everything. Make sure you have your materials, tools and replacement part at hand. Work in a comfortable clean environment.
b) It can get messy, ensure you wearing gloves
c) Mask the glass and frame off nicely apart from where the rubber seal is going on.
d) make sure that the frame is cleaned and free from debris. If you have minor rust areas, try to attend to it best way possible. clean it up and paint it.

If you have major rust holes etc.....well you pretty much gotta do what i had to do or buy new off the bay or get a very good second hand one.

That is all I can recommend

looking for a complete one for mk1 Sierra xr4i

Jack and the Beanstalk

Hi Lads

I stumbled across this persons YT channel tackling a very rotten Cossy sunroof. Worth watching for some tips. As it appears I don't think he is finished and would be interesting to see how it turns out

Its in Japanese but are able to turn the translator on.




Enjoy

Cheers

tosh

I didn’t understand a single word that he said but I’m guessing there’s a certain amount of swearing going on I’m guessing you had the same amount of trouble?

Jack and the Beanstalk

Curse curse curse !!!!!! Oh I didn't see you standing there!

Jack and the Beanstalk

Unfortunately no translator this time round but quite interesting to see how he goes


Cheers

I think the Japanese guy has got a lot of skill to make up the new framework .I bet when it's finished it was a top job!!!

Jack and the Beanstalk

It looks like he managed to finish it.






Looks like it works well for a complete brand new fabrication.

Cheers
