Window seal on a Volvo 850 - easy to fit ?

The message from JohnB contains these words:

The lower is a completely different thing to the other three sides - it's just a squeegee to remove the worst of the water from the windows before it goes into the door.

Obviously you need to replace it, but it's not vital - doors are designed to cope with water coming in through this route. There's only a problem if the drains at the bottom of the door aren't clear.

As for fitting it - all those I've seen are just a push fit. The wife's Clio one comes adrift from time to time - just push it back on.

Hi Guy - picked up the replacement seal today - it is not just push fit :-(

At each end is a "dangly" rubber tab with a hole in. These obviously go into hooks/studs on the inner door frame. So the panel will have to come off - hopefully I wont have to take the glass out.

Ah well - it'll be a chance to explore the door's innards.

I've got to find time this weekend to have another go at sealing the Clio's sunroof. She's fed up with having a shower on the way to work.

Turns out that the Volvo droids gave me the wrong part !! Discovered after 2 hours footling on Saturday.

Looks as if the right part will be push fit after all.
