Hi

 

Can anyone recommend a supplier in UK for Brand new door and T top Rubber Seals.

 

Ideally in South or with a mail order service.

 

Many Thanks.

Assume yours is a 2+2. I'll dig out the part numbers. One side is NLA, you'd have to get it from the US. That's a door rubber.

 

Total cost is around £750-£800

What happened about the old wives tale about using peanut oil or peanut butter on the rubber to restore it ?

You can get all sorts of flavours built in now to keep the old wives happy.

:flowers: Sorry precious, your post is still there giving people advice (if not a surprisingly good recipe if someone wants to try it?)

Forget the peanut oil bodge. Buy new whilst you still can, they're all going to be NLA before too long. Opposing door seals already already are from US and Europe/Japan respectively.

Was thinking of replacing mine but seems the left side is now nla in the states as well ,does anyone know if the seals from a shortie will fit

No they won't. The door pillar is shorter and there's a moulded bracket that lines up to the pillar with not much tolerance. There are also differently spaced holes for the clips and screws. I am sure you could make one fit, but how well, I wouldn't be able to hazard a guess.

 

So glad I bought mine last year! I had a feeling it wouldn't be long before they started to go completely NLA.

Dam, where's that peanut oil
