Hi

I have a problem with the front window seal on my 2007 Hymer Nova 570, under very heavy rain a slight trickle gets past the top of the seal and runs down the inside of the window, it does only happen under a deluge. The seal is not visibly damaged but it is happening none the less.

I have tried to turn the window catch plates round to pull the window in tighter but it put too much strain on the catches and so I had to put them back again.

I am resolved to now changing the seal and am quire confident in my ability to do this. However I now find that my panels are 32mm and this is not a readily available size(not at all really).

I have requested 30mm samples from Seals Direct to see if they will stretch without deforming. Does anyone have experience in dealing with window seals, is this likely to work, will they stretch the extra 2mm ?????

I have also found a German website with 31mm seals for Hobby caravans but there is almost no info available. I cannot tell what size the bubble is, mine are quite small, only about 10mm, would it be a huge problem if the bubble was too large, say 15mm ???

Ian
