Water leak

Hi all. It looks like my roof seal has let go and sometimes it lets in a small amount of water into the cabin. Has anyone ever replaced this seal and is it expensive. I also have another rubber seal that is also on its way out however this one at least is water tight. The other seal is this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281222959867?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:VRI&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2661

It is breaking apart by the wing mirrors where the window slides into it. Can this one be done by me at home. I have never replaced a seal.

I will be interested in any replies to this thread. I assume you have tried gummy pflege? - not sure of the spelling.

Yep the gummi plege has been tried but no luck :( tried searching the forum and web and I have not found anyone who has replaced any of the seals ive mentioned. Maybe it can be fixed?

I would give it a go. Look at these Russian TIS pages, Google translate sort of makes sense of it.

There appear to be shims behind the roof seal. If the seal itself is not perished, some minor shim adjustment may stop the leak. The mirror triangle looks easy enough, add a bit of washing up liquid to the water they suggest to ensure things slide into place easily.
 
Thanks for this. I will give the triangle a go but the other one looks a bit to much.

I will do a write up when i change the triangle
