RP window channeling dimension - Nick Salmon - 08-03-2018
The felted rubber window channeling on the driver and passenger doors of the RP crumbled to nothing years ago. Would anyone be able to tell me the dimensions of it so that I can order replacements? And if you happen to know what length is needed to do both doors, that would be a bonus.

I buy mine here Nick: https://www.theaustinsevenworkshop.com/search?query=window
The channelling usually goes to about half way down (maybe slightly more) the door on each side and along the top, reasonably easy to measure (and add a bit).

How delightful to see it still being sold by the foot!

That is what I use for Rubies, someone will know for sure on RPs (there seems to be a variety available....).

Could some kind soul please confirm if there is a difference in dimensions between what is used on Rubies and Box saloons?

Hi Nick,
I too am rebuilding my RP doors, the old guide was 30” long.
I have bought new felt covered guides from Woolies but the glass is too tight and will not freely raise or lower. The channel in the doors is 0.560” wide and 0.300” deep.
Is there an alternative that may give me more room for the glass.
One of the doors had what looked like card inserts instead of the proper guides.
I will contact A7Workshop.
Roger
