How to Measure and Order the Right Windscreen Seal

22 April 2025

Back to all articles

Ordering the wrong windscreen rubber is a common (and frustrating) mistake. Here is how to get the right one first time.

Windscreen seals look similar but differ in the details that matter: whether they take a separate locking strip or a chrome trim, the glass thickness they accept, and the body flange they fit. Ordering by "it’s a Holden" is how people end up with a seal that will not lock in.

Order by model — and check the strip

The safest way is to order by your exact make, model, series and body style. Then confirm the locking-strip style: some seals use a thin rubber filler strip, others a bright metal insert, and they are not interchangeable.

When in doubt, ask

If your car has been modified or you are not sure of the series, send us your details and a photo of the old seal. It is a two-minute check that saves ordering twice.
