    Thumbs up Window Seals

    Wondering if any one knows of any one who does resealing of windows for my ae86.
    Pretty much all the rubbers dried for front and side windows and waters starting to leak abit so any help would do.
    Prefer something not too pricey and around liverpool area.

    Hey if you want to get your windows resealed try windscreen o brien and other windscreen installer company as they will do this for you for a price. If you are looking for the rubber trimmings get them brand new from toyota.

    I think what you're looking for is something called a doorbelt or a weatherstrip (for the side windows). If you wanna get them for a fortune, go to Toyota. If you wanna get them for a 'decent' price, go to Rare Spares as they'll often have access to these.

    The front and rear side windows are sealed in with some form of silicone for both mechanical attachment and sealing. Sikaflex is one company that supplies this sealant. If these windows are leaking then something strange is going on. I don't know if it would be better to remove them completely and reseal, or if new sealant can be injected around the old seal.

    The door glass channels are unique to the AE86 and the standard glass weatherstrip doesn't work in them. Peter Jackson's Old Rubber Co didn't have it 5 years ago - someone might now.

    The hatch glass rubber should be able to be resealed - it's supposed to have some sort of sealant as well but as far as I understand the sealant does not provide mechanical attachment, just sealing.

    I think the company the panel beater used for sealing the windows after the respray was dial a glass or something like that, but that was several years ago.
