Ive just completed this bodge job too, does the job and stop the windows leaking, just looks a bit dog but the new after market windows go in next week -- just need the van dry inside 😂😂😂
You do know that you just could have fixed the leaking? The guide pin on the sliding part of the window is probably worn/damaged, costs £1 to fix in 20minutes. Also, treat the window seals every 6months with rubber/seal restorer protector.
There wasn't one pal, when i had inside carpeted and doors sorted they must have removed it. So this was a temp winter fix as water was flowing in through windows and resting in to the bottom of doors causing rust.
The worn guide pin? How is this fixed? For £1?
@@paulray8358 it wasn't the guide pin it was the whole window and it was a quick fix to stop the door from rotting inside. The door was filling up with water from the broken seals and couldn't get in to be fixed for a few weeks. While the country i.e. UK 🇬🇧 was having worse downpour in years.
@@ThisDrivecom Theres also drains at the bottom to let any condensed water out, door and solid wall sides.
@@paulray8358 Guide pins are the pins that slide in the slots, those can be either plastic or metal. I saw someone fix it by buying a pen and used its cap to slide over the worn guide pins to make its circumference a bit bigger, fitting the slider channel a bit more snug and that way pushing the window against the seal a bit more firm.
Did this work? Still waterproof?
Yes, 100% i just renewed the seal last month
No way I've just booked my van in for this Monday to have same windows
Ha, replaced or sealed up? Still need to get mine sorted but not really been able to do much camping for last 16 months so been no point lol. I'll have to sort out though
@@ThisDrivecom new, I haven't got windows yet, thought I'd go with the flush finish as didn't think they'd leak
@@socialising6037 sounds nice, good luck and maybe bump in to you one day either camping or at an event
@@ThisDrivecom cheers yh never know I live in South West UK
😂😂😂
Honestly, i spend 1:37 watching this! Thanks dude
Thanks, didn't you find in useful at all? I was clear it was a bodge fix
The word "fix" is slightly misleading!
Hi, I did say in the video the bodgist bodge and also "So here is how I temporarily fixed my leading side window" so nothing misleading at all ;-)
