Hi you lot
I seam to be missing the top rubber part on my passenger door (towards rear of door which connects to the window).
Also I seam to have a visible gap on the rear quarter where the targa roof meets with the door and door window.
Any one know where I can get such parts? ive read before about the likes of "elephant ears":ears: a bespoke item people have made to fill this gap/protect water running into the car. Anyone know more about these? weather they are available to buy or do I need to save my loo rolls and buy some sticky back plastic?:scratchchin:

The cars not leaking in anyway due to these items I just want them doing as I think it gives a better finish to the areas.

Thanks

Jay

The door rubbers can be obtained from TVR Gear 01664 481065. LH Door part no. TV0143, RH Door No. TV0144. I paid £8.70 for the pair. They come off fairly easily, so I glued in place and secured with a self tapper.

Can't help with the second query, sorry.

Elephant ears ? This is just a triangular piece of rubber (can be cut from a bicycle inner tube) which deflects rain water running down the gap between the vertical window seal and roof canvas. Do this and re-proof the roof with Fabsil now and again, and you won't have any issues.
