ive just bought the new window seals for my quarter lights but what is the piece called that the actual window bit slides into? It's all perished and hard so the glass doesn't slide in properly (doesn't close properly either) , thanks in advance :oops:

The rubber insert often perishes and pushes the glass out of the quarter light frame. The catches also tend to break off, especially the driver's side. I don't know if the rubber is available separately. It is usually easier to buy a 2nd hand quarterlight

Set it in nuetral cure black silicone rubber. This is how I stuck my drivers door window - worked a treat!

Old inner tubes are always worth keeping for all sorts of car related jobs ;-)
