what have you done to your car today ?

The rear quarter glasses actually quite simple to remove and yes it's integral to the rubber frame and door lip seal.
You can prise the rubber lip up from inside whilst pushing the glass panel outwards.

Looks like it could be bad news. Now I have the rad pack off, the new a/c condenser is physically slightly different to the new one I have. Could be a show stopper. I’m going to have to review part numbers tomorrow morning.

Stripping things down explains a lot of things...

Today's lesson: why do the window seals go bad?

Noooo, that is a major pain in the arse you really don't need. I'm really sorry to hear that mate, I hope today brings fresh hope.

I’ve had to order a genuine condenser from Deutsch parts. Hopefully will have it by Tuesday if I’m lucky. Photo below shows the issue with the Mahle part I have. The a/c connection position is quite different. Annoying because I used the Mahle part catalog to buy the right part. Even their CAD diagram reflects the correct position.

Anyhow, I’ve swapped out the compressor and have put the job on hold.

Fingers crossed for you
It is so frustrating when you are on a a job, you've done your homework, planned it all out & the part just ain't right. It will be worth it in the end though

Need to give my VZN Midnight Black a wash and re-wax, can anyone recommend a Wax or Cleaning bundle at all? The beading on the car looked lovely in the first month, around 2 month in now and it hasn't got that look in the rain anymore and I want it back.

Do you have an Ateca, if so you have posted in the wrong section this is for MK1 Leons.

Apologies, new here. Haha!

I got down and dirty (there's no choice when it comes to that job) with that a couple of years ago when the seal failed around the main wiring loom and my washer jets kept clogging. Ended up cleaning everything - scuttle, hoses, washer bottle, the insides of the wings... I was amazed there wasn't any rust, given how clogged it was.

Looking at the pollen filter side, I know I'm probably going to have to do it all again, as there's a load of sycamore seeds merrily rotting away under the scuttle.

Love how SEAT thought a 2p sized slot was going to be enough to drain all the water and leaves...

used allot of good waxs over the years but after using autoglym polish i use Armor all shield over the top it lasts for ages and was surprised how good it was you can also use it on plastics and rubber even the side windows, so you don't need other products, mad gear for price and better than some of the expensive gear I've bought over the years

Canna go wrong with ezcarcare stuff, especially with the deals/bundles on offer

installed some LED drl headlights yesterday, modified the units so that they go on by ignition and not that the DRL turns on when i have my lights on (defeats the purpose of DRL..)
Took some work for the wiring and fitting aftermarket LED's into aftermarket headlights, but it worked out. Bumper removal and reinstall was kinda frustating about the bolts placements but ohwell.. car looks much cleaner

 

[Nathan penney]

Just sorting my loft out and dug out these headlights.
Assuming there is a difference between the lights for LH and RH drive cars?
Will the part numbers be different?
Cheers.

You should be able to find out on the Valeo website. I can tell you I bought lights a few years back. One of the numbers was 087482 (checked in my emails) so that doesn’t tally with you photo.
