Re: Paisley Freight...useless!!!

Maybe there's an issue with your address? I've used them countless times at different addresses and never had an issue. Their fixed price system for sending car parts makes life so easy!

adjusting front windows

Evening all. I'm looking at adjusting my windows to get them to seal properly against my new tbar seals. I'm trying to work from the BGB but it doesn't make much sense to me. Can anyone break this down in a way that makes any sort of sense? I've got the doorcards off ready to go http://i1090.photobu...

Re: New t bar seals......still leaking

Exactly, they are a real tight fit now I don't think that's the issue. Can't get my head around it :?

Re: New t bar seals......still leaking

No, assumed they wouldn't be required with brand new seals?

Re: New t bar seals......still leaking

Been messing about with it all day, not got anywhere. Had to take a break before I end up breaking something. Never thought of drain tubes, what's the best way to unclog them if required?

Re: New t bar seals......still leaking

Hmmm. I don't think so. With the new seals fitted the roof panels are real tight, needing a solid push down to fit, and the locking handles are tighter to turn. I guess due to the thicker, plumper new rubber. I'm confident they are being pulled in tight enough

Re: New t bar seals......still leaking

They have sealant pre applied and I also added some here and there but didn't want to go too mad with it. Ill be dammed if I just spent all that money on new seals just to add silicone in the same place as done on the cheap fix!

New t bar seals......still leaking

Ok I'm at my wits end. After shelling out an extortionate sum a few weeks ago for all new tbar seals from the states, I got round to fitting them yesterday. Woke up this morning to give it a hose pipe test and........still bloody leaking! Anyone have any tips? Do I need to use a xxxx load of sealant...

Re: MR2 Rev 3 Turbo GTS

Not right now no. In the process of fitting: Brand new tbar seals Perfect gearbox and new clutch Berk decat Apexi N1 exhaust Greedy boost gauge No one even bothered to come view the car, if they had I'm sure it would have gone. If will remain up for sale as I may still sell if the right offer comes ...

Do you not think a bigger explosion may increase cylinder pressure :wink:
