My take on the inspiration of Ben89
Removed the passengers side sliding window - no rust great IMG_4454.JPG
mounted the new rubber seal and measured many times and use glass panels for radius corners and cut a 4mm sheet and test fitted IMG_4451.JPG
On to the drivers side and repeated the process to include the "door" also no rust IMG_4449.JPG IMG_4448.JPG IMG_4450.JPG
A couple of things I did differently to Ben89, the locks I used can be closed without a key but still lockable but not waterproof and I cut the "frame" so the pinch weld seal passed between the lower mounting screw and upper mounting screws of the hinge. I did not get this quite right as the upper mount screws still just catch the pinch weld seal so at the moment I have eased the pinch weld down a small amount as can be seen in the last picture. In the process of doing the passengers side and have allowed a bit more clearance. The offset hinges I used did not have enough offset so had to block them out by 5mm. Have not had the vehicle out on the road yet to see if there is any wind noise.
Cheers Trevor
