yes on the scrounge for info yet again (only hope can pay back some day)
The seal between driver and passenger door window seems to be very compressed and not sealing anymore
Does anyone know where I can purchase?
Is it easy enough to fit?

Hahaha what would I do without you Mark?
When the door is shut the angular part of the glass when fully raised has a gap between that and the seal, this is the one for the moment I speak of.
She`s back with me now so gonna have a butchers around her tonight :-)

Thought as much...Thats where mine leaks...Once i get this sample and test it then hopefully we can all replace the seal for something that does what it should do...It will need a bit of trimming but i will give a rough guide...smile

They do mate but no-one seem to of even seen this one before or know what it was from...After scanning probably over 2,000 pictures of seals and extrusions i decided that the original probably came from outer space...After all it does resemble an alien ship...A little bit...

Having rummaged around all three sites I mentioned, I concur it does look a bit obscure. Mind you Vintage Supplies seem to have drastically cut back on what they used to list (I am going back to the 90s here so it could be they've used up old stock and not sourced any more).
I wonder if it might have been a marine application.

Hi Ian...I have checked...All Automotive seals...Marine seals...Train seals...Bus seals...Coach seals...Sliding door seals...Windscreen seals...Ive even asked an Eskimo if he had seen any seals like it...His wife turned and said ..."Shami shuma pila polak tut tut" ...So i said..."Sorry can't eat Walrus its too fattening"....So after bordering on madness i have come to the conclusion they must of been a TVR special....smile

I know...I saw that post...hehe...I thought an Elephant would be more PC...wobble....I was advised to ask some of the trimmers as they may have some...However most i have spoken to haven't even seen it before...laugh...Just love to know what it was from, I have looked at hundreds and hundreds of pictures/Profiles of trim from 1950 onwards..Nothing....Don't suppose you sussed it....smile

Tried the solution that the S...Chim and Griff did but no good...Cheers...Ziga

Same problem - it's on the sides of the targa panels on an 'S' and no-one has been able to find a direct replacement.
