What You’ll Need

We recommend using strong, weather-resistant tape such as:

Cloth tape, duct tape, or gaffer tape
Example: Norton Bear 50mm x 25m White Cloth Tape – Bunnings

These tapes offer superior grip and water resistance. Please keep the purchase receipt — we’ll reimburse you upon return.

How to Apply the Temporary Seal

1. Clean the Area

Wipe down the exterior around the leaking window where it meets the body of the vehicle.
Make sure the surface is dry and free of dust or debris.

2. Apply the Tape Securely

Place tape around all edges of the leaking window — especially the top and sides.
Press firmly along the full length of each strip to ensure an airtight, watertight seal.
Overlap strips slightly for extra durability.

3. Protect the Interior (Optional)

Place a towel or absorbent cloth on the inside window sill in case any water still gets through.

Tape Reimbursement

If you purchase tape to complete the repair:

Retain the receipt
Present it to the team when returning your vehicle
We’ll issue a refund within 14 business days
