Window to wood which filler ? (Traveller)

Post by deleted_user2 »

Hello
I'm trying to find out what type of filler is used that goes between the glass and wood frame. Can anyone advise please.

There shouldn't be any filler, its a channel section. The original is made from made from felt/rubber/steel or you can use an aluminium channel with felt liner. See any parts catalogue or Ray Newall's excellent book on Traveller restoration (available from club shop).

If you mean the glass to the rear doors, it is traditionally bedded in a dum-dum type bituminous sealant between the outer frame and the glass, but more modern cartridge sealants can be used. Don't use silicone based goo as this can affect future paintwork projects.
