The General Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 (edited) 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?

IanMc Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 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..

Exclusive Opel Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The General Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 @Exclusive Opel I like that! Looks like another job for the 3d printer and power flex material! I will keep you all posted and will see how durable they are. If they are any good I might produce some for club members at a very reasonable price. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanMc Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 My pleasure Bill. People on this forum have been so kind to me over the last few years, it is nice to be able to give a little something back. Good luck with your 3D printing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutty2006 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The General Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 .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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumster Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Rattling or clunking around in the bottom of the door !!!! That's where you will find the window guide if its missing..... I did. 😆 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The General Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 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. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanMc Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Great work Bill, I am very impressed. Out of interest, what 3D printer do you have and where did you get it from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The General Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 @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. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-400 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 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😕? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutty2006 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
