Questions about rust & rubber...

Post by mrduke »

First up, apologies if the answers are already here somewhere - I've tried a quick search but couldn't see them :oops:

1 - Since finding the forum I've been fairly enlightened on the subject of Xantia rear door jambs :lol: however, I'm still not sure whether or not mine would cause MOT failure? The outer skin is very crusty, but the inner metal is completely solid. I will at some point be replacing the metal from the bottom of the jamb, up the front of the arch which is also starting to discolour, but that won't be for a while yet (assuming I can find a suitable donor).

2 - The rubber surround on the rear side windows is practically falling off in several places, and looks fairly perished. Is this likely to be letting water inside the panel, or can I ignore it for now? I could stick the loose patches back down temporarily but it really is quite crumbly :-?

Ta muchly in advance :)
