Window Seal/motor/regulator

[Xtaoi]

Recently my seal on my 1998 R34 GT-T's passenger side window (2 door) has started to play up. It is starting to fall off. It doesn't look in generally bad condition.. is it worth replacing the seal or just buying some special adhesive and sticking it back on? Also, the window itself when I go to wind it down.. the back part of the window doesn't wind down.. i have to help push it down.. is this due to a motor failure on the window? or maybe not on the rails correctly? Seems like a stupid question but im just trying to see how much money i can save rather than taking it somewhere and have them charge me too much

for the window winding part, try to take the door apart to see if the window isn't sitting on the rail properly, you might find it's a different problem (motor failure etc) then you can buy parts and put it back in yourself.

Hey Xtaoi, did you ever find a solution for your seal? mine decided to partly come off tonight...

[Xtaoi]

Nah mate i didnt. I just dealt with it. Im assuming you went and sorted yours out between now and that post? How did you go?

do you mean the rubber part is coming away from the backing strip (the u-shaped hard bit)? if so just glue it back on with some adhesive silicone if it's just a small area. If it's heaps of it then reattaching it is a pain so go to clarke rubber and match it with what they've got. It's called pinchweld.

Hey, basically door seals aren't glued in, they just use suction - I had a mate at work put mine back in fairly snugly, took him 5 seconds!

As for the window, it was a broken bush on the window regulator causing the back part to stay down. I purchased and fitted a new passenger regulator, but after hours of jigging around i couldn't quite get it to come up flush with the seals - it works and stays straight, but sometimes it digs into the seals. Something ill have to live with!
