Side Window weatherseal

[Pat]

Does anyone have any suggestions for foam tape or other means to seal the side windows and toll window from the weather? I've tried some local hardware store material and it either doesn't have the firmness to seat the window or the ability to handle 110o heat and remain in place.

This is the non adhesive seals we use on side windows, Frank

Frank,
What it is?? Seriously, Is it a glue backed piece of material? Rubber based, foam, elastomere????? Sources?

Admin note to per The Rules thread that I'm sure everyone has read:


5.c.Non-Sponsoring vendors are prohibited from posting about their wares or services. This includes your screen name, signature, avatar, pictures, informational posts, and so on. Violation of this policy will result in suspension. Repeat offenders will be banned. The Supporting Vendors will be allowed to post about wares and services until their status expires, after which they can enlist as a Sponsoring Vendor if they so choose.<o></o>

RON, WHAT TOTAL NONSENSE ! You really need to understand how these things work ! two guys ask how we do something - we show them a picture of a solution we have used - they ask for details - The best method of explanation is to send a sample of material 2 inches long for their assessment, together with details of the UK suppliers name and part numbers. HOW CAN YOU interpret that any other way than a pure free service to the guys on this forum - get a grip ! Frank

Frank - if you had just posted the suppliers details, I doubt there would have been conflict and also anyone else reading the thread in future would be able to benefit from the details contained within.

Inviting people to contact you for the details/samples, is in reality another form of advertising, esp as your original post made no mention of passing on the supplier details and rules are rules.

As you have an established userbase of customers, many of which will have no doubt heard of you via the forum, why not consider becoming a Supporting Vendor. It would definately be worthwhile in the long term i'm sure. :thumbsup:

How does the saying go? - "You can please some people some of the time, some people all the time but you'll never please all people all the time"... or somthing like that..:huh:

 

[Frank Catt]

Paul, you are so true, I can please most people on this forum most of the time, but I dont seem to be able to please the administration at all, anytime,

Re: Side Window weather-seal

Hi

I have used a tape similar to Neoprene from these people in the UK.
Single sided foam tape - BLACK - 10mm x 1.5mm x 50M [FT101550] - £12.95 : Tapes-Direct : Gaffer Tape | Double Sided Tape | Foam Tape | Anti Slip Tape at Tapes-Direct

There is similar stuff available in the US . The tape is available in 10mm and 20mm at 1.5mm thick.

And most likely where Frank gets his stuff from anyway!

 

No shit?! The only ones you please are the ones with deep pockets and shallow brains. Hmmmmm,,,most of the folks on this forum DO have deep pockets though!!!

I am with "Hooligan" regarding Franky becoming a Supporting Vendor, after all, business is the only reason he is here.
