I'm just about to fit windows to doors.

Having spent a day fighting to remove the old seals PAM3076/7 I have a question, should the new seal be glued into the channel or does the window just hold them in place...?

Thanks again for your help!

I installed these on my Mini last month. They just press in. No need to use glue.

I was actually surprised by how easy they were to fit. I expected to have to use clips or glue like on other cars.

They snap into place, the rubber has a shoulder shaped into it that locates in the channel. If you glue them in you will never get them back out when they fold up at the front corner in 2 years and need replacing again.

Thanks guys!

The old ones were glued at the two ends inside the doors - a nightmare to remove if you are not a gynaecologist!

Still, done now and new ones going in....

First window in is really tight - is that normal with new seals...?

Going to jump on the back of this one if i may???

Tried fitting my new seals today and struggled like chuff..!!

 

Question

 

Do you have to take the glass out to fit the seals? I'm guessing so as i struggled 80% of it flew in then last section could not get into door cavity??

 

Advice please?

 

Thanks in advance

Yes, you need the window out to fit the seals...
