bought a window seal kit from Alan Schofield for my westie and it looks like the rubbers for the sliding windows in the side door and above the kitchen block are too big.
 
Anyone else tried these and got them to fit??????

 ay up Joker,
 
The van is a 1989. I had a thought that maybe the rubbers were for a bluestar or something

as jc says all factory window busses are the same bar early middle windows.

I asked for the ones for a 89 westie camper and they sent me a pack with all the necessary rubbers; front, back and sides. When it came to sizing them up they look to be about 2-3 inch too big lengthways.

i gave alan a phone and after he checked it looks like his new supplier has made the centre window rubber too big.

He's going to send me a replacement pair and a couple of quid to cover the postage - top bloke and great company to deal with.
