Hi Solidrock

Was wondering how long it took to strip the window glass from the door-tops and fit the Garrison seals? I'm down to the last day of my Christmas hols - had lots of good intentions - and still haven't fitted the seal kit to my door-tops though come hell or high water I intend to take the tops off tomorrow morning and start-in on them. I'll be replacing the rubber strip between the door-tops and door-bottoms as well due to them being perished, though they're on back-order and won't be in till late next week.

Cheers, Dave

Hi Cummo, it took about an hour and a bit to do both of my door tops.

A decent portion of time was spent gently prying the aluminium panel that holds the rails and windows into the frame as after it was de-riveted I found it had also been siliconed on, but I subsequently saved time on removing the existing felts as they weren't glued in, so I didn't have to bother with the goo gone etc. So all up, if you have stock standard "unmodified" tops I think an hour is all you need.

Thanks Solidrock!
Doesn't sound like as big a job as I thought it would be. As usual though my wife had other plans for my last day of hols so I didn't get to take the door-tops off after all - still No. 1 on the playlist of Perentie tasks though.
Cheers, Dave

Installation was pretty straightforward, a few surprises with my door tops involving silicon and screws for rivets and vice versa - but it adds to the mystery I guess

pics attached.

I'm just trying to fit my Garrison Door kit. I have removed all the screws, and have also noticed that the frames doesn't "simply" lift out. I have noticed the silicone also, did you just use force to remove this?? I also had one of the those screw heads shear off but have drilled it out, but there might still be a burr or something, but even accounting for that the blasted thing doesn't move at all !!

PLEASE IGNORE MANAGED TO GET THE BLASTED THING OFF !!

Opps should have read all the posts before I posted my last one Solidrock

Do you have any tips on how to remove the aluminium panel, was it brute force??

Haha no worries, the info is always in the last place you look, often after you've already asked the question...happens to me all the time!

Good to hear you managed to sort the tops out, hope the seals work as well for you as they did for me.

In a bid to stop the window rattles and whistles on 48-749 (4x4 Perentie) I tried draft seals from B....gs-cheap and not fully successful.
Had a look at Garrisons seal kit- looks great but $275 locally? Expensive for what it is. The kit from the USA costs about $150-still too expensive 'cos I'm a tightarse.
Bought some flocked Bailey channel (serial number 350.360) from MVR Industrial in Penrith. I bought 5m and had 400mm left over.
The installation took 2 hours and the result is really good. No rattles or whistles at last!!!
It cost $12.50/m, total $62,50 incl GST. Much better!!
MVR can be found at 1/44 Peachtree Rd, Penrith, NSW 0404298064
They have all kind of rubber seals, pinchweld, screen rubbers and many other shapes and sizes. Check their web site. Highly recommended.
