car window seals

That's what I was saying...

Indeed. And of course they don't follow such a tortuous route they can be rammed. The hoses on mine are only thin rubber and would be easily punctured.

Ah - only one I've had apart is the SD1. Not because it was leaking but to renew the headlining.

Yes but it might just be blocked a few inches down at the first curve. A powerful vacuum cleaner with a makeshift seal over the outlet might be worth trying - the front ones are usually accessible.

I have done a google, but the model is too new to be a specialist car.

I'll look further into that, thanks.

As I wrote earlier, the car is 266 miles away and our daughter has a tendency to fiddle with things, so I don't even know if the window has been set into the mechanism correctly :-(

The sun roof can be un-bolted from the mechanism. The glass has a metal rim around it that is bonded / part of the glass. This bit is prone to rusting. Then there is a rubber seal that wraps round and engages with the metal part and this is all that forms the seal (I think).

Ideally, I would like to get the car to my house, as I have a Rover trained man at hand. Even he can't find a suplier of the seal.

Thanks

Thanks for that _and_ the warning :-)

Someone will specialise in them as soon as the dealers give up.

Right - same as mine, except mine is an all steel type. As I said this doesn't form a perfect seal - only stops most of the water getting in. If there are leaks inside the car there's something wrong with the tray beneath or the drains - unless the seal is missing totally. How about checking a breakers? They're not exactly rare cars.

I think that Schlegel used to do the profiles for Rover. I could be wrong.
