Getting sick of the window falling out every time I close the door (read as slam the door) on the drivers
side. There is no channel left at all at the bottom or top. Is there a kit available to re-seat the whole
shooting match? Mind you, the frame bottom has corroded through & lets in a nice draught, along with the
air vent seals. Might be an option for a pre-glazed full door top? easy to fit?

The seals look easy enough to fit onto the air vents.

Hi Nige, been there done that recently. I purchased a complete set of
runners from Paddocks and the strips came ready cut to size.

Having thought about it more now I regret not buying new ready glazed
door tops as mine are getting a bit tatty/leaky/draughty/etc too.

Regards

Steve G

They'll need painting though, might be an option though.

Anyone got any ideas of the cheapest place for fully glazed door tops?

It isnt hard to get a tidy finish on a landy door top with a brush or
roller.

Fully glazed tops are much more luxurious than the self glazing
versions and tend to be more solid and draft proof when youre done.

All the big places were much the same when i looked.

44.65 inc VAT here - marginally cheaper than some
well, ok, ahem, 25p!

Easiest is to e-mail the order, from the site if you wish,
for a formal quote, then either I'll ring you or you ring me
at your convenience to do the card bit.

On-line ordering is on the cards, but I'm still having
difficulty finding a "supplier" of on-line shopping who
will let me have the site how I want it......
