965 forum posts 34 photos | Hopefully someone can help me here but I am having a bad hair day I am refurbishing the cab on our club Ford 4000 tractor & it involves removing some of the glass panels, dealing with rust, then replacing the glass. The glass is held in with a simple "H" section strip. I want to replicate that strip - I do NOT want the types with inserts etc - just the H type that one fixes with a cord. I have spent the last hour on tractor sites, auto factors & rubber seal sites but no one seems to do it. Plus I am having problems knowing what to google to find it. I keep coming up with door & window draught excluder strips Does anyone, into vehicle restoration, know where I can get a cheap H section strip, or what I should be googling for, please. I probably need about 10-15 metres, but not sure yet. Money is tight so I am very limited on spend Thanks Sam Longley Edited By Sam Longley 1 on 09/01/2022 09:19:51 |

965 forum posts 34 photos | martin Thanks, But unfortunately they do not list the simple "H" section. Only the one with the break in the front. Edited By Sam Longley 1 on 09/01/2022 10:06:41 |

2878 forum posts 248 photos | Plus 1 for Seals Direct. Ring them up as they have some odd sections not listed. Used them on my Citroen 2CV windows. Good tip, fit the seals on a warm day especially if you have tight radius on the corners. |

Good tip, fit the seals on a warm day especially if you have tight radius on the corners. I have completely dismantled the cab & it is in my workshop for painting etc. so I will follow that advice & turn the heat up. I will not need a lot of persuasion in this weather. Thanks. |
