Hi thanks for that  but they are black seals but still seem to stick. I might try one of the other things you suggested though see if that helps .thanks again

Hi there,

We too had the same sticking problem on our last caravan which also had the black rubber type seal. We cured the problem by simply cleaning the inside on the window (paying special attention to the edge where it meets the rubber) with WD40, not only does it clean your windows better than you've ever seen, but it also coats the window with a thin invisible non-stick layer which makes it far less likely to stick to the rubber seal, do this once every couple of month's and it should virtually solve the problem. (use a very soft clean cloth to clean them...never use kitchen roll or dirty cloths as they can scratch the window) 

If the problem persists then it may be worth trying one of the various chemicals available from hardware/DIY stores that cleans and restores rubber.

 If both of the above fail and you have already tried all of the tips already suggested, then it looks like new seals are the way to go.

all the best.

Thanks, I will give the WD40 a try at the weekend.

Cheers,

Sticking windows always a problen .I got over it by using car wax on the window where the rubber hits .Worked for me

Cleaning the window with WD40, thats a new one to me! Might give it a try, not sure about the smell though.

My window rubbers always stick. I am just careful how I open them and Iv'e never torn them!
