Car Forum / MINI / April 2005Mayfair '98 Rear Windows
Hello Readers, Does anyone know if the window seals on the opening rear quarter lights are different to the fixed rear windows on the Mini Mk IV? There may not be much in it but rain don't need much to get in! I'm trying to find out where the water comes in! TIA No, They are totally differant. The fixed rear window is held in by the seal hicj=h wraps around the body lip and the glass - the opening window seal just wraps around the body lip and the glass butts up to it.

Seven quid each from The Minishop London. Doddle to fit and stopped the leaks on both sides. Thanks readers - final question before I commit. If the chrome trim is taken off the opening windows, and the correct seals are fitted to the shell, will the glass that has been recovered fit between into the channel in the rear windows? Opening quarter lights aren't really necessary on a Mini. TIA > Thanks readers - final question before I commit.

I wouldn't drive a Mini here in the heat without opening rear quarter light windows for ventilation. OK group - it's the YOUKAY. (England) >> Thanks readers - final question before I commit.

(England) You mean UKland? As I recall the chrome strip surrounding the glass of the opening rear windows on my '78 Mini Clubman is fixed in place and not removable, especially towards the rear where the catch is. The chrome strip butts up against the seal which is pressed into the body shell. The original seal was one length therefore there was a small gap where the ends joined and it was at this point where it leaked. The new strip was a continous loop therefore no gap and no leak. You can get them online, £15 the pair via this link http://www.miniboss.co.uk/proddetail.asp?prod=RS%2DQL Daz > Buy a new pair, you can get the correct seal from autojumbles cut to length > for about £8 per side, its probably letting in water due to deteriation, > > Steve. > > "nite fire" <dave.miniman@vurgin.notthisbit-respell-isp.net> wrote in > message news:RXw9e.38871$JO6.596@newsfe6-win.ntli.net... > > No, They are totally differant.
