AFT roof seal

Post by Ca11um43 » Thu Jul 31, 2025 8:57 am

I need to remove the seal which is attached to the AFT roof and seals it to the top of the van, but my current one looks very old and brittle...Is there a bongo specific one that I can get to replace it? I've seen loads of different universal ones that will work, but none of them look anything like my current one. So which one would be best to use? TIA

No I don't believe there is an identical seal on the market :-(
The one off my old roof is as below;

As you say there are others available but they all have a larger section outside the roof rather than the seal being inside alone.

I'm not sure if my current one is original or not, but I much prefer the look of it compared to the others I've seen. I can grab an up close picture when I go to pick the Bongo up later today, now it has an MOT on it. I got it as a project with no MOT, so been welding it up and doing some other bits over the past few months :D Now I can bring it home and start to sort other bits out. Starting with the flakey paint on the roof, hence why I will be removing the seal so I can sand it all down and give it a fresh coat of paint.
