west midlands. bit of help request

Hi folks. My tbar is leaking badly. Have heavy condensation on the inside of the windscreen every day aswell as a wet seat. I cant afford new seals.

When i siliconed my bath i covered myself in the stuff. Anyone wanna give me a hand for a couple of beers?

Have you bought the eccentric guides ? Takes 20 seconds a side and fixed mine instantly - no faffing with silicone needed.

Mate never heard of them? What is it?

They're T bar rod guides with an offset hole that pull the glass tighter against the seal.

Ah okay! Where do i get them?

Can I hijack this a little bit? My t-bar leaks a little in the rain so I've tried the coax trick and silicon method, the latter worked great but didn't seem to last. After reading this thread I ordered some of these yesterday and they arrived this morning. This may be a silly question but have I put them in right?


The hole being lower and towards the inside of the car

I'd say so mate, if the hole is lower, the rod is lower and so should the t bar rubber and glass. Should mean a tighter fit.

[Davsurfa]

That's what I thought too, cheers 😎And yeah the t-bar glass is a much tighter fit 😎

[robbie_742003]

Davsurfa, I've ordered some of these, out of interest, how did you get the old ones out? Flat screwdriver jobbie?

Mine have come. Its just which way they go im not sure about?

So is the hole facing into thr car or to the body work

[robbie_742003]

From what I've read, they face inwards and down towards the transmission tunnel, as in the pic above.

[Davsurfa]

Yes mate, I used a small flat screwdriver to pry out the old ones and then just pushed the new ones in. The T-bar glass is a lot tighter to fit and there's been quite a bit of rain here since I fitted mine and I've had no leaks at all
