Mine lets in lots of air noise, verified with the strip-of-paper test - open the vent , lace a strip of paper between the glass and the seal, close the vent, see how easily the paper slides through the gap - very easily up the rear edge. I can force the glass in closer to the seal by hand, but the knob wont do that - does this imply some wear in the mechanism? The rear edge of the seal at the bottom, behind the now useless metal bit that was used to latch the vent, has completely gone, there is daylight visible there. The nearside seems to be in much better condition. Has anybody replaced the rubber seal here please, having sold their first born to buy a new seal?
Reading the book it says if you want to remove the mechanism you have to remove the main window glass- surely this is not necessary to replace the vent rubber? 76.31.28 says you can remove the glass and frame by removing a clip(nut?) - is this enough to allow removal of the rubber seal?
thanks
