|
|
Well I'm back to the forum after a short short absence. Went though a bit of a worrying time money wise recently and for a while it was looking like the Morris was going to have to go! Anyway things have worked out OK and its time to get stuck into the SE again!
I would like to replace the hard and perished window rubbers on the rear windows of my car (its a 4 door) I know I can get the right rubbers from Basis here in NZ but I would like some guidance around taking the windows out and replacing the rubbers. Has anyone done this before and have any tips? The rear window has a wooden frame I believe, will I have to take this out when replacing the rubbers?
Thanks
Dan |

Hi Dan
At someone's request I did post a picture of the rear wooden frame, can't remember if it was on this forum or the Morris Register forum
I think you are on both so worth a search.

This is a timely thread. However I have the other end of the problem. My series E came with no rear window. It has the timber(and in good nick) still attached, but I have no idea how the rubber mounts to the body. can you post a pic of the rear even if the rubber is perished.
Cheers

Will take a photo tonight for you. Conversely could you take a photo of your rear window without the glass in it? Funnily enough it may help me work out how the glass comes out. |

Here ya go. Wood is not in perfect condition but its still very serviceable. Guess we can put that down to the more drier aussie weather.
