B.L.Z.BUB Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) I know you can get it there, but I pose the question, is it possible to make a 90 degree bend in it like stock one to fit the tops of the windows? Do you need to cut it, or do they come in lengths with a 90 bend? :hmm: Squeeze it in with a heat gun?

greenmac80 Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 i cut mine on a 45 angle.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altezzaclub Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 no you didn't- you cut it on two 45deg angles!! :laff: Easy enough to cut with tinsnips, and Clarkes have a few options. Some of the other rubber sections for the Datsun I bought from Rare Spares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taz_Rx Posted March 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 thanks guys. Strips in Tar are all cracked on the drivers window.... which causes the glass to come off its runner.... and drop into the door. Getting a bit over it. Cheers, Si.

ke70dave Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 thanks guys. Strips in Tar are all cracked on the drivers window.... which causes the glass to come off its runner.... and drop into the door. Getting a bit over it. Cheers, Si. maybe my ke70 has the same problem. currently both front windows continaully fall off their rails, and i think it is becuase the window gets stuck in the rubber rails...i thought it was because of the recent rain the rubber gets wet and "bloats" and the window gets stuck in the wet rubber. I'm considering just getting the silicon out to make sure the window doesnt fall off its rail again. good idea? if so any suggestions on a silicon that will stick to glass? I'm not interested in it being pretty i just need to be able to wind down my window without it falling inside the door! its too damn hot to drive around with the windows up all the time.

Taz_Rx Posted March 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Yeah same deal. Doesn't matter if you glue the glass in the rail (I used sikaflex once) thats just a band-aid. The Underlying problem is the felted strips cranking and falling out. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ke70dave Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 how long did the band-aid work for you? ke70 is second car for me...so i don't use it all that often. btw when you say felted strips you are talking about what the window slides in? not the peice of rubber that sits between the window and the rail. i attacked the whole area with lanolyn spray once. that worked ok, untill it rained again.

Taz_Rx Posted March 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Yeah what the glass runs in. Sikaflex band-aid worked for a few months in Dirt. Bashing the glass back into the rail in Tar only lasts a week or two these days as the strip is proper fubarred. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
