SIMONM5 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 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. Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkysi Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 (edited) http://www.allcarpartsfast.co.uk 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 Edited January 28, 2018 by Funkysi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyB Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 What happened about the old wives tale about using peanut oil or peanut butter on the rubber to restore it ? Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was being serious and trying to help :flowers: Sorry precious, your post is still there giving people advice (if not a surprisingly good recipe if someone wants to try it?)

Funkysi Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 (edited) 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. Edited January 29, 2018 by Funkysi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjr Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkysi Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 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.
