Over time the seals holding the Perspex or glass into your boat, car, van or caravan shrink, perish and become less effective so need to be replaced to prevent damage to your vehicle. These seals, known as Claytonrite or glazing window rubber seals, are sold in a range of different sizes depending on the thickness of the glass and thickness of the panel.

Selecting the correct size is essential to ensuring a long lasting sealing solution. ‘Gap A’ and ‘Gap B’ relate to the glass and panel thickness. These glazing rubbers will seal approximately -1mm. For example, you can fit a 4mm-5mm thick glass into a 5mm gap. The glass and panel gaps are interchangeable. The ‘Web’ relates to the thickness of the solid piece of rubber between gap A and gap B. This stipulates how much smaller your glass should be in relation to the size of the hole / aperture.

This video demonstration from Seals Direct explains how to remove your existing Claytonrite seal, take measurements to identify a suitable replacement and fit the new window rubber.
