Bad new quaterlight seals!

Post by Arthurdaily »

I just purchased and fitted two new quarterlight seals, the flat strips that lie between the quaterlight itself and the top of the door ... but I can't get it to actually 'seal'... no matter how tight I push down on the quaterlight / frame and do up the nuts underneath water still creeps underneath - it seems the seals are far thinner than the originals - any idea where I can get better quality ones than the 'usual' supplier sells?

Thanks!

Add a wee bit of sealer on each side of the rubber, I usually put a small bead of dum dum to keep the water out.

Anyone know a Dum Dum stockist?

Tried Googling for it but got nowhere
Our other car is a 2009 Citroen C6 3.0 HDi a 'future classic' and far rarer than a Morris Minor!!

The 'moggie' has been replaced with another 'classic' a 1953 Citroen Traction Avant 11BL
