Hi All,

The 3 front windows on my '94 Elddis Wisp fall out every time I open them because the square channel rubbers no longer provide enough grip. The fins on the outside have worn flat!

So, can anyone tell me where I can buy a few metres of this square channel from? (internal width is 3mm and external length is 10mm)

No joy at Seals Direct, and I've been messed about for the last 2 months by Waudbys who have promised the moon but never deliver.

Many thanks in advance.

Andy

Sorry Andy, Waudby's was going to be my suggestion because that's where we got some seals when we tidied up the front locker on our ABI Monza last year.  I'm sure someone else will be along with a suggestion soon.  All the best, Natalie

Hi Andy , could you not stick the square channel rubbers in place with Sikaflex 221 mastic ( black ).

Hi Natalie and Wizard,

many thanks for the advice.

I think I will have to use mastic, as I phoned Waudbys the other day and the channel that was due in 'any moment' had not arrived.

Many thans

Hi Andy,

you could try a company in Norwich called Walker Rubber : www.walker-rubber.co.uk. 01603 415044

They've got a massive warehouse and should have something for you.

If you want a sealant try www.uksealants.co.uk
