Does anyone know where I can find the rubber seals for the fixed windows on the front doors.
I looked at paddocks but couldn't find anything there .. or would a liberal use of silicon sealer work?

Depending on the state of you door tops, it might be easier and quicker just to replace the entire top.

Hey Col, yes I thought about that but actually my doors are rust free due i guess to the fact that as it was a fire tender on the airport that it lived in a heated garage .. oh and my heater works ,, no it really does ;-)

When I replaced my door tops A couple of years ago, I took the glass out of the old ones cos they had the original triplex marks, new door top glass doesn't have the marks. It was a bit of a pain getting them out so I imagine replacing the seals will be even more of a pain. Maybe the silicone sealer might be worth a try first, nothing to lose.

Just stripped down a set of S2 replacement door tops for paint...butyl tape is what was used to seal glass into frame compared to a white putty in my original 101 door tops...if using butyl put it in fridge before using as its easier to work with chilled...

Self adhesive rubber window seal from the local DIY store. Then some gutter mastic (the bitumen type, not silicone) as this is flexible and stays a bit sticky. Then when its all done and set soak the lot in WD40 to keep the water out.
If you do got for new door tops get the galv ones. A good compromise between cost and lifespan.
