Kombi Sliding Windows

[SlothBurger]

Plenty of threads on leaking sliding windows but is there a specific fix (or video) for tightening the window so it shuts tighter against the rubber seal?

I've cleaned out the tiny drainage channels & they are free flowing. Mine seems to be leaking because the seal is not sealing as it's not tight enough.

I wedges something along the inside plastic groove channel and that keeps the window tight against the seal seems like and obv fix but no one’s mentioned it?

I believe you can get replacement rubber for the seals.
There is a video on youtube on how to do it.

Got a link? I've seen the one where the guy cleans out the drainage holes. Cleaning those didn't fix mine. I've tried cleaning & treating the rubber seals too.

Hi, sorry not got the link but I watched it last week.
I think he is in Germany.
He also has a shop where you can purchase the trims.
I was watching the usual drain unblocking videos and it popped up.

Awesome. I ordered the gaskets. Sheesh they pricey for a bit of rubbery stuff.

Hi Sloth Burger how did you get on with kombi window seals?

 

[SlothBurger]

I received the gaskets & they're good quality but I didn't get time to fit them yet. Any day I had planned to remove the windows it rained & I don't have a shed or canopy to work under.

Ah ok thanks for the reply. Hopefully you will get a dry day soon.
