Im still working my way through the list of little things that need doing and i have now reached the doors, at the latch end of the door by the window, im guessing there should be some kind of rubber seal ? Any ideas what should be there, where i can get them from and what i should stick them on with ?
Thanks in advance...

I have the same problem, not easy to source but I have seen them on SC Power's website (not an obvious place to look for door caps). They're not cheap, around £15 each. I'd stick them on with two part Araldite but almost anything will do, make sure they're not catching as the door closes though. This will just make them keep falling off until you eventually lose them again.

Took a picture of mine for you to show they are bonded at their bottom edge. They're not essential as a seal though, they don't even touch the glass and seem to be just a finisher for the edge of the door moulding. You could probably fabricate your own from a piece of rubber, maybe a different colour?!

I got a replacement from racetech, fitted it on Sunday.
New one requires shaping to fit the door, a dremel type thing and about an hour and it was shaped perfectly.
I use silicone to stick it in as it's got a bit of give. As another post states, make sure it clears the body when you're shaping it otherwise it'll fall off in no time again!

The rubber door cap was loose on my Chim I stuck it back on with Tiger seal . Far better than silicon sealant and it's black too.

Sikaflex 221 in black. What I have used for lens covers along with many others on here. It won't come off again.
