RK rear window seals... - Ruairidh Dunford - 07-06-2020

Can anyone tell me what type of seal would have been used originally around the glass of a 1930 RK please?

I’m not sure about originality, but the following worked for me.

Thank you Peter - the car in the picture looks really interesting - any more pics?

Hi

This is my fabric saloon as found by the previous owner and then during my rebuild.

I just love that upholstery fabric in the back, I bet that’s not on Jon’s list!

Absolutely beautiful car, what a find.

RE: RK rear window seals... - Ruairidh Dunford - 07-06-2020

Peter,

the before photos are a tremendous resource - what a find! Thank you for posting.

Hi-jacking this thread a bit! 
What are the seals like on the windscreen of an RK? I have what seems to be 1" square sponge rubber, sort of glued in place! There is quite a gap twixt windscreen frame and body opening.....[Image: dodgy.png]

Does this help?

I have used an L shaped rubber extrusion glued to an aluminium strip on the top and found that the foam draught excluder strips for upvc windows work well on the window.

Hi Ruairidh 

I used the Woolies trim described by Peter.

David I used a bonnet rest rubber over the curved part of the screen frame and screwed it back with a length of half round aluminium.

Not sure of originality but it seems to form a good seal.

Cheers

Howard
