Have a 70 Ghia Vert. Put in new window seals and like everything I've ever gotten for the car - they ALMOST fit. Any tips on keeping the water out for the upcomming wet european winter?!

Squirt some silicone sealant inbetween the the car and your seals. That's what the window guy did for my car and I've had no leaks since. Make sure you use a healthy ammount and it's sandwitched between the rubber and the metal.

That will work fine for the rubber to metal places, but I have the feeling he's meaning that his rubber to the windows isn't sealing that well, don't think you want to put silicone there Image

Ha! I love that! "They almost fit." Ain't THAT the truth! Or, the parts that DO fit, fit "sort of."

Grazie Tutti,

Finally recieved my Black RTV Silicone Sealant. Between that and the 3M weatherstrip adheasive, we should be pretty leak proof before monsoon season (Nov - Apr) sets in....
