Tool shed ones are shite, they fly apart as soon as they see metal . I got these ones, https://www.trademe.co.nz/3948985443 A+ go hard for what they cost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

locost_bryan Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 This is the seal for the opening rear quarterlight windows. It's basically an oval tube with a piece on the bottom that goes onto the window frame. Measurements are with an old imperial feeler gauge ruler. I suspect that, since the hinge blocks are identical to ADO16 ones, the seal might share the same profile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kws Posted October 29, 2023 Author Share Posted October 29, 2023 Thanks @locost_bryan that's exactly what I needed. That's different to the weird two-piece seals the donor car had (which in hindsight I should've grabbed for a sample) but look to be exactly what I was thinking of fitting, definitely gives me something to work off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locost_bryan Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 The driver's side wiper lifts at about 100kmh. Not ideal. The UK solution was to reverse the wipe pattern. It must have been a reasonably common problem in the 70s and 80s, as there were a variety of clip-on aerodynamic aids available. I fitted a pair to mine - they helped but didn't cure it completely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fitted a pair to mine - they helped but didn't cure it completely. It's such a classic bodge though, lets give the drivers side the massive wiper curve so they can't see where they're going. My first Marina had that pattern. I think I'll be doing well under 100kph if it starts to rain, just so I don't die.... the wipers lifting off will be the last of my worries 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrike Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 No option to fit a longer more modern Wiper blade setup on the drivers side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really needed, with the correct spindle the driver's side goes hard for what it is. Not that I intend to drive it in the rain much anyway 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
