Show me your wind proof jalousie/louvred windows :p

  1. Hello all,

    My devon has the double openable rear window, which the panels of glass close together with a good 4mm gap between the glass when closed.
    This is letting in the wind when stationary and quite draughty when driving (when I could drive hahaha)

    I have bought a seal kit from just kampers for the devon window but they don't seem to fit that we'll, so was wondering what yours look like / what they should look like :)
     
  2. There's a gap of around 2mm between the panes when mine is closed.

    From the outside.

    From the inside.

  3. Can the gap be closed up by adjustment? I saw some in a cafe I was working in and when it was closed the panes where touching!
    The kit I got from just kampers is a push on rubber seal which is clear, but its one thickness all along so when I gets to the metal it doesn't get bigger to allow for the increased thickness.
     
  4. I don't know, I've never tried to adjust it.
     
  5. I've got the same issue - a PO has used self-adhesive foam draught excluder along the top edge of each pane to close the gap. TBH, it doesn't look that great, but it serves a purpose!
