    Question New window seals might solve leaking boot

    Does anyone know where I can find new seals for the R33 windows?? I need the rear screen and the rear passengers both sides as a minimum.

    I jet washed the car the other day, after alll that snow and grit carnage, and just assumed I was seeing lots of old dirt and crap coming from around the rear window trim.

    Have since decided that what I was washing away was probably the window seals that might have perished for some reason... only because I've had a leak in the boot for a couple of months now and have tried EVERYTHING in re-sealing the bugger!

    Water continues to drip from between the bodywork skins on either side of the boot-

    I misread the title, I though it said window seals might solve boost leak, I was gonna say it one hell of a boost leak if the window seals affect it!

    looks to me like the car has had either a rear panel or 1/4 fitted and no seam sealer was used

    What about the channels in the rear lights being blocked. Mine were.

    Would you normally see sealer along/around every seam then? There's no sign around the floor pan of any shunt or anything. But I guess that's not the only reason for replacing 1/4 panels eh?

    As you can see from the pics, there are a few tiny spots of rust appearing on the inside so I think I will need to take it to a body shop at some point soon anyway....

    Where are the channels? On the top of the light housing itself or on the bodywork?
