The rubber seal that surrounds the glass in my aluminium windows has lifted out of the frame
They are 30 years old so I suspect they have simply shrunk as I'm told rubber does over time
Can I replace them myself? Where can I get the rubber? Any special tools to make it easier to get the new seal in?

Gemini: Actually wondering now what is the point of replacing galzing wedge? It has had gaps in the corners for at least 10 years with no ill effects


Minimise draughts with a malleable contact face which compensates for any distortion in the frame or window, allow for a spring-like tension on the latch to stop rattling in the wind.
