    Needle In A Hay Stack....

    Hi all, haven't posted in forever after selling my cab a few years ago due to one reason and another and being young and stupid lol 😞

    I was just wandering if the new owner was on here, would like to see the car again. I've missed it soooo much. I was looking at some for sale the other day and am very tempted to buy another now things are better. I sold an SE500 in blue (obvs) with blue mohair hood to a guy in Middlesbrough who collected from me in Stourbridge, West Midlands. I have no contact details as it's was quite a while ago. I know the reg number but wasn't sure if I should post that. I checked online and it's been registered as sorn since Oct 2013.

    Would be interested to hear from you if was you that brought it.

    Massive long shot I know.

    Thanks in advance xx

    Leaking Seals

    hi jacqui if its anything like mine it was a pain in the bum especially as i had to keep taking the interior out to dry it all out to save the floor starting to rot. so here is what i done to save buying new seals 1. i took the door panels off and adjusted the bolts that hold the motor to door and the channels aswell and it made it a little better but wanted to go further so took all the bolts out and made the holes a bit larger to make the window go up further and that worked well but the only thing i forgot to do was put new washers on so they would grip the panel and stop them from sliding on the longer holes so after a while they moved a little alowwing a little gap.

    2. i changed the seal that goes round the windscreen for a better one with a rain channel in and worked great. but still have a slight gap.

    3. after a long while of spending time on it i then had a thought. if i open the door and help the glass up whilst pressing the window button the glass comes further up and creates a perfect seal even in the heaviest of thunder storms.

    so now i have a constant dry car what ever the weather. the reason the glass wont seal against the roof seals is a possibly a combination of badly adjusted roof and worn rubbers.

    if you want more info just give me a shout. or if you are up north il sort it out for you.
