    Quarter light seals,

    Having just read the Mag and Brian's article. can anyone expand on what's involved in changing the Quarter light rubbers please, does it involve removing the door cards and gear boxes or can it all be done in situ

    Ta.

    DONE MINE LAST YEAR
    doors were stripped anyway
    ,you will need to strip out quarter light mechanism as its easier to release the long arm that goes through the box, they get rusty ,there is a clamp that holds this and need releasing

    use plenty of silicone spray or simular

    quite an easy job

        As Alan says it's an easy job, I also took out the screws which hold the hinge on. Be careful with them - they seem to be brass.

          I second Brian's "be careful" with the hinge screws: there is a fine thread, narrow slot and slim head on them, and they are expensive to replace when they vanish into the "small fastener black hole" which seems to have formed in my garage recently.

            I've been less than impressed with the replacement rubber seals. They don't seem to fit well and I'm left with wrinkles or ripples on the hypotenuses of the triangle that I can't get rid of.

                Pythagoras didn't. Well maybe when he got old.

                    Quick question, I bought a pair and thinking about fitting them now, are they handed?

                      I've just taken a quick look at a pair I've got, and yes they are handed. No idea which is which though!

                          Hi Andrew,

                          You should be able to tell which is which as the quarter light glass closes up against the seal inner lip, if that makes any sense

                          Cheers

                            I think it will be easier to do when warm. The seals need to slide into and along the grooves and it's important to get them well into the corners to avoid wrinkling. A silicon lubricant would probably help them slide but make them harder to grip.
