Anyone know where to purchase a window brush or had it replaced with an alternative?

I've searched for the past 2 hours without success :-)

Try these guys

http://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/default.aspx

They came up in a thread about Cerbera window channel replacements and seemed to have everything under the sun to do with that kind of stuff - or definitely might know someone else who does!

Unfortunately they weren't able to help when I asked them.

...failing all else...
...just been browsing Screwfix for foam draught excluder strip (for a completely different application) and noticed how similar the door bottom brush types are to that window brush, you may be able to adapt something from that trade.

I think I've found a solution? (Been working away so not had much time).

The one on the left appears to have the right angle, then following their chart you can have the brushes supplied at various lengths.

Any progress on this at all - I have a fair rattle on my drivers' side window which I'd love to fix properly?

BTW the draught excluder link looks good - it's now

http://redwoodstripcurtains.co.uk/product/90-brush...

and the correct Race Tech Door Glass Rubber Felt looks like being this one - anyone know how long a length you need??

Finally the car builder solutions link has this - not sure if it would replace the pot-rivetted stuff that is already on the door?

Currently driving with a bodged version of window strip bought from Woolies and no brush.

I've tried two different types of window rubber guides from Woolies and neither fitted properly, one gripped the glass too tightly and the other is too loose. Not sure how others have managed to get theirs to fit?

The length of the window rubber guides is give or take 500mm a piece, therefore 1 meter per window.

The length of brush required is 10mm.

I had this - I had a loose bolt on the bottom part of the channeling, Just needed doing back up with some thread lock.
Got the same on the passenger side now.

Thanks guys for the responses - I'll definitely check the bolts on the channeling as the whole window rattles at times, and RR I'll try the Race Tech one and see if it is any better than the Woolies one - will report back with some pictures when I get all the parts!
