there are 3 articles worth checking out:

Fixing A Leaky T-Bar

Replacing Weatherstrips

T-Bar eccentric rod guide installation.


All of these offer a solution to this problem, with differing costs. I guess it depends on how badly deteriorated the weatherstrips are.

um vaseline eats the rubber - you might want to wash that stuff off and put something else on them instead

I just bought some new rubbers. (ooh that sounds bad)

Got them from Ebay off a Rev5 - virtually brand new for about £30. Fixed my leaks completely.

I've used Vaseline for many years on a Mk1 without any problem, just requires regular application i.e. perhaps twice a year.
