If it's the standard roof then they still sell them: think it's http://www.dormobile.co.uk/parts.html

Can't get any further as work's firewall thinks it's a dangerous site..... Possibly only for the wallet!

Now then Brad - check what thickness glass you have, I have bought 2 sets of rubbers from Dormobile, having been assured that the thickness doesn't matter - but it does

The seals they sell for land rover dormobile windows are for the thicker glass. They have been known to weep a bit if you have the thinner (1/4 as opposed to 3/8) glass

I am probably going for the ebay volkswagon seals or even from woolies for my current project

Just make sure you get seals for the right thickness glass

PS They are a bastard to fit - special tool needed plus skill and patience. I have had mobile windscreen firms do it for me (£60 i seem to recall)

All the best

G'day Alex, thanks for the response and information and with you mentioning the different types i remembered i had a massive bag full of window rubbers and fillets so lets just hope i still have the diamond shaped tool that feeds the fillet in.

I remember now fitting some side windows and alpine lights which really tested my patience till i thought about it and made the diamond shape tool that the fillet runs through when the tool is sat in the groove of the seal, with some washing up liquid applied inside the groove it made a pain of a job much easier.

With you just jogging my memory i must say thanks for unearthing something that was stored away in my excuse for a brain box as it's stopped me worrying if nothing else :wine: yep! and i can now enjoy a bottle rather than sit there wondering when why and how it's appreciated.

Catch you later. R-Rose :wine:
