_leon_ 0 Posted March 29, 2006 did the old one come out easily too? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2_Door_fun 0 Posted March 29, 2006 No not really. In the end I had to just pull it. Once kinked then they are dead. Really its a 1 shot wonder. I fitted my new seal and was not happy with the fit. I slipped it off but it is still mishapen.. I will end up buying another in the future. More £'s Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_leon_ 0 Posted March 29, 2006 tell me about the ££'s... the lip on the door was spot on i take it? thinking that must be what is making mine such a bar steward to do it. getting the old one out was a horrendous excercise. The metal within the seal was unwilling to move completely. hammer and wood for tomorrow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2_Door_fun 0 Posted March 29, 2006 Well actually the lip is where I think this common problem occurs. The door skin is bonded to the door chassis. I think that some of the skins were a little long. So they were butted up to make em fit. other wise there would be a slight overhang on 1 door edge. So as you stick the skin on the edges meet this causes a slight bowing of the skin. Hence poor seal fit. I appear to have made a mountain out of a mole hill. My gap was a few mm. Some on the forum are talking about 10mm gaps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_leon_ 0 Posted March 30, 2006 That would make sense. The gap on mine is around 5mm = not satisfactory at all. Sure that can be sorted (with A LOT of patience) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
belfastfumanchu 0 Posted August 17, 2006 I must be the only one who's driver's side fits perfectly, but the passenger side is being a complete b!itch to fit properly. So ANNOYING !! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Critical_Mass 10 Posted November 22, 2010 Bit of a thread revival ere. Does anyone know if these are stll availible and how much? Cheers Tim I've just got some, but was told they're the last set - one each side. Bar 1 extra for one side of the car. Not cheap, both cost me £88 + VAT :cuckoo: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
