They can indeed by changed as I removed the from an old scrap roof not that long ago. Unfortuntaly Topblag is taking them so dont have them to sell to you.
They do have a rivot holding them onto the frame. This can be replaced with a rivot gun or simple glue the seal into place.
They are very hard to get second hand, and I believe they are NLA at the dealers. But no harm in giving cotswalds from the traders section on here a call to see if they can source them.

On that note Russ, spoke to the Horseshoe man yesterday and it's still there for me. I'm hoping to get it over the next week before I go off on my hols.

Hi guys thanks for the advise but it's not the roof seal that I'm talking about I'm talking about the weather strip which is attached to the rear quarter glass itself..... not to the rear quarter or the roof I searched in the parts catalogue under glazing but couldn't see it there....

Ah, sorry the bit that goes between the front and rear panes of glass when the windows go up and down?

if its leaking from this part its most likely the windows needing alligned rather than the seal replaced. I have been trying to get this just right on my cab for a while and while its water tight the still rattle a bit too much.
