Replacing Sliding Window Seals Your Thought

Hi like many defenders my rear sliding windows have reached the stage where they rattle and let in copious amounts of water.

I've been looking a replacements and reseal kits but not sure which way to go.
Has anyone got recommendations, tips, opinions?
Dave I built a garage for my Mini
With a place for everything and everthing in its place.
Ten years down the line there's a Mini in there somewhere, and

all's where it should be!!!! Ho hum

Just last week I noticed for the first time a bit of a clatter from the rear windows.

What sort of work is required to strip out the old rubber channels and replace? I don't want to get half way through and find myself stuck without windows completely!

Brilliant, thanks! Think I just found my winter project and also a chance to clear out the wildlife growing in there...

Theres no need to remove the frame. I used the method here:

http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=68899#entry589784

and the woolies trim mentioned above. 30 minutes a side easily.

I didn't even remove the locks on the windows.

6 months in and all is still rattle and leak free.
