Brumby weather shield

Post by andy0097 » Wed Feb 22, 2012 12:51 pm

Hi Guys,

Hope someone can help I have a 1990 Brumby that was in a bingle before I got it subsequently the passenger side door window dosen't seal properly and when it rains water leaks in at the top front corner( yes I've tried to adjust it) I thought an easy fix would be to put a weather shield on it.
First question are they available for brumbies and from where can you source them, Second question how are they mounted to the pillarless door frame.

Cheers Andy

how big is the gap between the glass and rubber. was the door replaced or the glass. have you looked in side the door to check for damage to the window slides ???

The door seems to be a replacement door the gap along the bottom and side seems to be even but I suspect the pillar was damage and is out of shape slightly,I've tried adjusting the glass and can get it to meet the rubber strip nicely along the leading edge, top and rear edge but am left with a gap of about 5mm at the front top corner thus suspecting a dodgy repair. I have heard I could adjust the door by loosening the door hinges but that looks like removing the l.h gaurd and I'm not sure that would achieve anything, so I thought an easy fix would be to fit a weathershield.

Just a thought could they have fitted an older/other model window glass or are they all the same. If any one knows let us know as it seems the top length seems shorter
