For what type of vehicle, Pinz, Hafi, Volvo?

Pinz has 1 rubber for the "Swiss" version (one pain of glass), 2 for "Austrian" (two pains of glass)
dono what uses 3 rubbers?

Depending upon the truck there are several on the forum who can give you some tips -- which
will cost you at least adding your location to your profile :D

Did you happen to find a source yet? It rained quite a lot here overnight and I noticed a bit of moisture in the footwell of my Volvo. Thinking it's time to look at replacing these and address windshield frame issues. :?

I checked these two sites but haven't contacted them to see if they have any but are not listed.

I tried to find a source for pattern rubbers but nothing.
This is what I came up with. Not done it yet though, read it from the bottom up

Thanks Phil

Do i take it you'd mitre the seals to the right shape then fit to window opening. then fit glass and use the s136 to then fill in the corners? rather than trying to create a single jointed seal before fitting glass?

Hi Stephen

You can cut and mitre this section and bond together using S136 to make a frame shape.

Hi, I have a set of 3 window glass seals that I need to replace. It's from a historic vehicle so no chance of finding new ones. I was looking at Window Rubbers (Claytonrite) but the windows have 90 degree corners so I won't be able to bend the seal. Is it viable to cut and glue 4 sections of seal together to form 1 new seal? Steve
