rear screen rubber seal
The rubber seal has disintegrated on the corsa we just got for the wifey. There is a puddle of water sitting in the spare wheel.
Can this be done easily or does it require some expertise, and where do I get Corsa parts from?

Not sure about difficulty but cant see it being too hard. Scrappy would probably have 1, or you could get it directly from vauxhall.

Re: rear screen rubber seal
Does he mean the seal around the boot or the window seal the boot seal is normally the culprit iirc
If it ain't green and black send it back

Re: rear screen rubber seal
For me the seal around the rear light was bad so I sealed it up with polyeurothane sealant

Re: rear screen rubber seal
Nah its def the window, the black rubber that goes around the window, at the bottom its all tatty and I can pull it away from the window itself. I will double check but am confident this is where the issue is.

Re: rear screen rubber seal
Window has to come out and re-sealed, there bonded in so if it's leaking its the bonding that's gone, the rubber seal is more for look
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway

Re: rear screen rubber seal
Would rear windscreen be covered by insurance with windscreen cover?

Re: rear screen rubber seal
It would be proberly cheaper and easier just to swap the boot lid if that's where the leak is coming from imo

Re: rear screen rubber seal
he he, swap the lid, I like the term lid actually.
ok after allot of thinking, I have now purchased another corsa, blue, 72k on the clock, £750, it appears in better condition than the one we currently have.
The one I have is now going on Ebay. Has MOT to Aug, no Tax (ran out today!)
