Back to the rust topic guys. Inside the rear loadspace windows of my '97 Disco I have noticed the rubbers coated with a rust-colored film. I wiped it off with Windex, but it came back after a week or two. Is something leaking at the windows or what? Thanks

They must use some sort of lubricant on the windows seals to help them go in easier. Or, it's leftover glue of some sort. I think they are supposed to remove it after installation, but they get sloppy. After time, this substance has turned sort of reddish-brown by the sun.

I had this several places on the rubber seals as well. Try a really strong cleaner (mineral spirits or brake fluid) to clean it. Be very careful not to spill either and wipe it off completely after a few minutes. There are probably better cleaners, but these worked for me.

Thanks,
Mike B.
