If i't the same as used on the Chim you can get it from Fernhursts. Give Brian a ring.
They just fitted a new one for me.

I bought a door/roof seal by the meter for my Griffith from Christopher Neil - www.christopherneil.co.uk/

I just gave the parts department a call, told them which bits I was trying to seal, and they sent the appropriate part.

Just to be different, I ordered mine from TMS for about 20 quid.

It's very easy to fit, although you have to be careful when you're cutting the ends to shape as it has a steel channel running through it. It simply hammers (gently!) in to place.

Good luck,
Pete

er,i think we may be on a different wavelenth here guys.by targa seal,i mean the two seals,one either side that slide into the metal channel on the targa panel,which the door window glass butts up against when windows are fully raised.sorry for the confusion.any takers?

Yup, still Fernies they got a bl**dy great roll of it.

Yeah thats the stuff, Peninsula just fitted some for me while my car was there. It doesnt have any metal in it though, its just rubber, shapped to fit in the channel on the edge of the roof. On mine they left it an inch or two longer at the front. This is good for two reasons - firstly it helps to stop the damn thing coming out of the channel everytime I stow it in the boot (although I'm told superglue works just as well), and secondly it just folds down along the seal on the windscreen pillar and helps to form a better seal there against the side of the window.

I think Pete is talking about the seal that goes around the door. This does have a metal channel in it to attach it to the panels and overlap the carpet.

I remember from my old classic car days there was a dealer called "Woolies" or something like that who sold just about every cross section of strip-rubber extrusion you could ever imagine. Rich...
