GT/E Coupe Door glass seal end bit !

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know where you can get these from (N/S & O/S) both of mine have had it and it annoys me that the glass doesn't sit properly in the seal when you close the door without them! Strange that such a small part can make such a massive difference!

Also Does anyone have any images of them?

 

Cheers

Here you go Bill.

The first 5 images are of the Nearside/Passenger side one.

Then I realised that I hadn't fitted the Drivers side one myself, so had to go hunting for it..  :lol:  :thumbup

I hope that this helps you a little?

I made my own (can't remember if the repro one's weren't available or didn't know about them at time) from some thick acrylic. Not perfect looking but functional. As only the top part is seen, that was profiled like the original and polished.  The stuff I used is a two colour mixed/ iridescent type used for trophies so thats why it may look a bit weird! Apologies for the rubbish photos.254741518_IMG_20200330_0858356072.thumb.jpg.e51d05ff57b539bc6673c62f3c97d652.jpg1798727085_IMG_20200330_0901063682.thumb.jpg.4a3c2cafd55c51b645f103dde869bd5e.jpg1537520250_IMG_20200330_0902403852.thumb.jpg.5977123bc6dbd28f1f985f312c162e06.jpg

These are all great images, is it possible to have the same images with a ruler along side, also can anyone post an image or two of the item fixed on the door, one with window up, one with window down similar to the  images I posted originally.

Thanks for everyone's assistance

If your window doesn’t sit right in the seal when the door is shut check your guide at the bottom of the window. Take door card off and look at the back of the glass. Guide should sit in the rear rail and push the window in towards the seal when it’s all the way up. I had same issue with my hatch and found the guide missing.

.Hi @Sutty2006 long time no see! Yeah they are both in place on both windows and they have been bonded on with proper glass adhesive. It might just be adjustment. They have never really just closed properly and I always close the door using the glass not the handle. I think there was a good sticky on windows alignment I will go and have a look for it. I've removed the window seals and im going to seal  the metal seal runners as the sprayers forgot to do this and water drips through between the roof body and seal mounts.

Just to let you all know what I've been doing in isolation over the past day or so! Also to say thanks to everyone for all the help. I'm going to trial these (if I get chance to use the car) and if all OK (I cant see a problem) then I will print them off for £5 per side + postage just to cover materials, & electric while printing they use 6Mtrs of filament each side.

You will need your original centre piece (the white bit) as I haven't reverse engineered those bits.

The material is TPU. It is  a flexible printer filament like a hard rubber so perfect for this job and the layer adhesion is fantastic and very strong! as you can see from my image of it on the car the layer lines can be polished out on the top edge with a hard buff in a Dremel, but I didn't spend a lot of time on my one that's why it looks a little uneven in the image.

PM me if you are interested in one or a set.

@IanMc 

It's only a cheep one. It's a CTC bizer from ebay I dont think you can buy it any more  most important is the V3.0 extruder nossle and heated bed and I use a glass build plate. I also have about 20 years CAD experience which helps with getting designs up and running quickly. Also use good quality media. Especially TPU and ABS the latter of which is used widely in the automotive industry due to its resilience to temperature and UV light.

Great job, if I had those some time ago... Remember the ones of the GSI just by stripping the doors they "desintegrated". Needed them so I bought them from reprotec (Had to give my right arm for the set). A few years later the ones of the "400" began to leave a black greasy residu on the windows, despite that car doesn't see the sunlight that much😕?

Great stuff, making stuff that we can use and doesn’t cost an absolute fortune. Good on ya. I took my drivers door card off (so I could fit englemann mirrors and found my guide sat in the bottom again lol. Deffo need some glass adhesive.
