    Leaking bonded window now rectified.

    Had a leaky bonded window. Looked into removing it myself but national windscreens will remove and re-bond it for 70 quid. Worth the money I reckon. They also showed me the difference between the kit sealant I used and the product they use. The difference in quality is night and day. I bought my...

    Leak on self-fitted side-window HELLLPPPP

    Tiny tiny small leak coming through, it was a huge storm outside and it’s the first time I’ve seen it. The small hole where the sealant didn’t get to must be letting the rain through. Any small sealant I can use from the outside to get behind the glass?

    Rubber Trim Side Windows or Carpet?

    So then, im just about to cut some nice holes in my T6 and having watched loads of videos it seems you can either use a rubber seal on the cut edges or carpet and tuck it in behind the glass from the inside. Whats the best option. Rubber seam looks way easier??

    Window curvature

    Afternoon all. I’ve just fitted a window from camper glass and noticed that the curvature from top to bottom seems quite off compared to the vehicle body. Mainly the rear bottom corner of the window seems to be away from the body by quite a bit. I’m just wondering if this normal? TIA
