Quarter light rubbers
Can anyone please tell me the procedure for replacing the quarter light rubbers in my Traveller, including possible snags? I'm unwilling to tear the old ones apart without some previous knowledge!
Re: Quarter light rubbers
Remove the window frame.Undo the screws holding the top hinge to the frame,undo the bolt on the lower pivot.Clean everything up,make sure the top hinge screws and thread on pivot are nicely greased.Remove old rubber.Fit new rubber.Reverse the dismantling procedure(as they say in The haynes manual).

Re: Quarter light rubbers
Hi Tysonn
Can you elaborate on what you mean by the window frame? Do you mean the top of the door which runs the entire width, or the strip at the bottom? Thanks

Re: Quarter light rubbers
To remove the quarterlight lower pivot you need the frame out.Bolts at the rear of door (lock end)and under the door card,lower window(unbolt the stop at the bottom so the glass drops further),unbolt the winder so you can slide the arms off the runners on bottom of the glass)leave the glass in the door,then 3(maybe 2 cant remember)bolts inside door under the quarterlight(a bit awkward to get at).Then the complete frame will lift upwards and off.

Re: Quarter light rubbers
I'm more confused than ever here
Just the 2 grub screws to remove - top half usually defies gravity and you'll
find it's 10ft away under a leaf.
Are separate rubbers available?

Further investigations uncovered it was an inside job!!

Re: Quarter light rubbers
Tysonn, I think you might be describing an operation other than replacing the quarter light rubbers? I too am confused....

Re: Quarter light rubbers
There are 2 pieces of rubber that could be described as Quarter light rubbers, the bit that the glass sits in and the bit that seals the actual quarter light when it's closed.I'm more confused than ever here
"Once you break something you will see how it was put together"
Re: Quarter light rubbers
Thats certainly correct.OP didn't state which and I assumed he meant the meant the profiled seal as the thin rubber around the glass is straightforward to replace(once you manage to get it out of the frame).

Re: Quarter light rubbers
Actually there are 3 as there is the upright seal in the frame as well.

Re: Quarter light rubbers
Surely you're not having trouble with that one.Just in the middle of changing all the rubbers on mine.
