Window seal?? Cleaning paint??

[jes87s]

How hard is it to find the little black insert window seals on both passenger and drive doors?? I have a 92 EG...

I hope you know what I am talking bout... The little cblack strip along the bottom of window. Mine is chipped and rusting.

Also I just bought my EG and the previous owner had square plates in which he must've used double sided tape and has left a sticky outline along my paint, now with my new personalised plates on there they aren't big enough to cover, how do I get it off without scratching my pearl paint job?? I have tried lightly scratching but it doesn't work.

Cheers.......

what you can do - is DIY fix it.

First , sand back the window seals with a medium grit sandpaper to remove all excess rust / paint....the idea is to get it to bare metal.

Then , use a denser grit ( more abrasive) sandpaper or scourer , to buff up the surface.

Last , tape up both sides with tape and newspapaer to protect your paint and window from spray.....get soem el cheapo matt black spraypaint...simply lightly spray the window seal in a few rounds , let to dry and spry onc again to smooth out.

"should" turn out a ncie , matte black colour :) Good luck....
i will do a DIY later in the future myself.

Yes Luke that's the part I was referring to!! Sucks!

And that's a good idea but I don't know if I could do it Ben, will do it good enough to turn out half decent anyway!!!!!!!!!

What area you in Luke?

Hey bright spark Ben :p any solution for my number plate mess??

[Lukezen27]

I’m in Manly :thumbsup: surf sucks toay but its good most days heheh

Yeah I was going to DYI but I'm a Virgo and want it RIGHT!!!!!!!!

Only divers side it stuffed so I only have to spend $147 and not double that :)

As for the number plate problem


Any cutting compound should did it but it many take some time but its far better than any scratching you were doing

[jes87s]

My passenger side is basically all silver... But my driver's side is cracking and I give it a month or 2 and it'll be all silver as well, it just ruins the nice effect...

If you decide that you are going to give it a go, Luke, Ben or anyone, let me know and I'll join ya, 2 heads instead of one could make it work.... :D

[Lukezen27]

I wounder how hard it is to take out, would made DYI it far better and the end look would be better

I need to buy a manual soon me's think's:wave:

[jes87s]

Keep me posted Luke as I am interested in doing it and cleaning it right up! SO let me know yeah??

Still need to figure out number plate thing.....

[mojo the flashy monkey]

lol i just got paint and degreaser and wala it was black again :Plolz dam im cheap weeeee

[jes87s]

How long did that work for????

Something like eucalyptus oil would ruin the paint wouldn't it!?!

[Lukezen27]

Keep me posted Luke as I am interested in doing it and cleaning it right up! SO let me know yeah??

Still need to figure out number plate thing.....
Will do:)

now w've talked about it I'm all hyped lol

Might have to do it this weekend

jes87s I'm sure it will cut back,you could try a small bit of Metho

I used Metho on my old 1980 323 and she came up looking new, no shit!!!!!!!!!!

[jes87s]

The metho wouldnt eat away or anything??

I'd join you this weekend but I am still unable to drive with my injured foot for another 2 weeks... Feel free to come for a drive my way lol.... I"M SO LAZY!!

I'm the kinda person who wants things done here and now, it's bad! BAD!! :rolleyes:

[Lukezen27]

lol I would but I get lost heading over Parramatta way :rolleyes:

What happened to your foot?

The Metho won't if you use small amounts as it evaporates quite fast and might

[jes87s]

Okay I'll trust you on this one Luke, let me know how it goes if ya do it.... PICS toooo please! Before and after!!
As for the mark on the licence plate part, I will give the metho a try, only using sparing amount as scared of the effect.... Will let ya all know. In the mean time anyone with a better idea let me know.... :cool:
