Hi,

I'm replacing the trims on the window of my car. So far so good, I have managed to remove the black aluminium trim and slid in the new exterior dew wipe rubber trim to replace the old one which has shrunk and was letting water in.

Am also going to replace the rubber bit that sits between the black aluminium trim and the 1/4 light, 90153193320. In searching for the bit in the parts catalogue, there is an additional part listed that I'm not sure if I need. 91153129700. Having found it online I can't for the life of me figure out where it is supposed to go, but its annoying me. I want to do the job properly to stop water ingress but don't know if I need this bit.

Has anyone done this job and can tell me where actually bit 91153129700 goes - a photo would be amazing..... Thanks in advance

Hi, If I'm looking at the right part it seems to me to be the rubber fitting between the quarterlight and door capping on the inside of the glass. Steve
 
Thanks - that's great. I had put it back assuming that as there was no way it was going to fit on the outside whatever it was!

It's all back together now. I did notice though when I put it back that there is a gap between the top of the door panel and the outside edge of the window frame. Most of it is covered by the Aluminium trim strip but that actually sits in front of the gap which about 5mm, at the bottom of the vertical, next to the B post). Do you know of there is meant to be anything to go in this gap? There is nothing on the parts diagram...
 
Apologies, from your description I'm not sure what gap you are seeing.
There can be a difference in outer window seal fit as I believe there are two lengths, Coupe vs Cab/Targa. Steve
 
Here is a picture… I’m pretty sure it is the right trim size… you are looking down the length of the door towards the front…

Hi, I understand the general area you mean now.
I've taken a look at my car and can see that the black window frame profile appears to stop short of the door skin (body colour, red in your picture). Seems to me that this is the original design for this joint. The area is a bit of dirt trap and although I can see traces of sealant / mastic, after many years of thorough cleaning, must have caused it to mostly disappear! Although our window has the original longitudinal external rubber that has shrunk over the years I'm pleased you have drawn my attention to another problematic area. I'll re-mastic this 'hidden' gap to prevent additional water ingress into the door, thanks. If this is what you have the concern over then perhaps you will do the same. Hope to see you and the car at an event sometime and we can compare doors. Steve
 
Yes! I also raised this on Facebook and came to the same answer. I have now ordered some butyl car window frame sealant cord from Amazon so I’m going to give it a go at the weekend. I had to order 4m of it and I need approx 4cm. If you want some I can send some to you too… let me know…

will probably be at some events in April /may so see you then perhaps.
