I'm pretty sure you can get some special grease which u can use to help create a good seal around the glass and rubber :?

My country does the same, it was sealed up with silicone as a temporary emergency measure about 6 years ago and hasn't been sorted properly since.

There was a thing on the other Polo site that these went factory fitted, but I think the Country ones were (they wind up rather than just push) as if you look in the owners manual they are there so I wondered if VW would sell new seals???

What is the grease called........has anyone used it?

Jim, if Owen can't get you parts, try:

They've been very good at getting me some obscure parts for the Mk1, especially if you quote them part numbers :wink:
