I've run a few films through my GTN now, and the metering lights seem to have stopped working. These have worked a little intermittently in the past but seems to have fully given up now. The battery test light is currently working, although that has been unreliable before. I've not been inside one of these before - worth a go? If so, does anyone have any ideas how to fix it or know of any online walk-throughs?

I've also just tried the first roll through a GSN and everything seems to work fine other than the light seals. What's the best material and way to replace these?

Jon Goodman's resealing kits sold under the name 'interslice' are tops. There is also a link in the Articles section giving specific instructions for various models.
