    I’ve van conversion glass fitted and surprise surprise the paint around them is scabby and needs sorting - no problem there but I’d like new rubbers and possibly some with the widest profile to hopefully hide any making good.

    Interested to hear what other people have used - us anything available to buy by the length and the join it ? If so , how does it join - silicone?

    In theory properly sized rubbers don’t need any sealing , they should be an inch longer than you perimeter of the window aperture, super glue can be used to keep it in one piece but the undo have to be chopped clean and square

    just Kampers sell sets as do AH Schofields

    I really can`t help you with the one i went for , it MAY have been WR63 but i didn`t keep the paperwork . The most important measurement is the `web` , the distance between glass and bodywork and a 3mm measurement for bodywork thickness isn`t an issue as the filler strip will take this up .

    Beware of buying too small - i did first time ...
