Door seal sources

[Vista]

Anyone got any good recent experience of sources for them?

 

East Kent are offering a one piece seal at £39.50 each but that seems pricey to me next to alldridges £39 for a pair (albeit they are just lengths cut off a roll...............which is what I suspect E.K.'s are but with a bit of glue added)

 

Or then there's these, seems very cheap though

Did you order them for a mk1 or 2? I notice they list one piece seals for a mk2 but not for a mk1 oh and on their own website they're showing the one piece seal as £29...............but they're listing it in their ebay shop as £39.50 with £8.50 P&P on top!

Ha ha that picture made me laugh

 

Stick to the normal ones as the 1 piece ones do really look like they have been glued together

 

Yep its for a mk1 escort,had to get them as driving the car is abit too raw for some people

[bomber1]

will fit my ones from aldrige trimming on thursday to see how i get on if there anything like the window rubbers they should be good

[samurai]

I got my front screen seal from AVO club and that was good but i dont know where they get them from.

[Tom]

I had the cut length ones from . . . errr . . . somewhere

 

They fit well if you start in a corner and cut the ends at 45 degrees so they butt up nicely

 

ooh and if you can find a small piece of cylindrical (sp) foam or a piece of rubber vacuum pipe cut to around 3" you can insert and glue it into the seal ends to make an even better join

[fostersice]

i dot my screen rubber from east kent trim and was well happy

 

if you call them and say is it cheaper to buy out side ebay they will do you a better deal

 

as for the door seals there is a guy selling the cut to size trim on eday enuff for both sides £19 plus postage

[samurai]

Let me know how you get on

[samurai]

I got them on..fits like a glove

 

buttt i have to shut the boot hard to close it

 

doors shut with a good slam and i can see inside that the door touches the seal all the way round so nothing can get in or out but the door sticks out like 1/4 inch

 

Maybe after abit playing around i could sort it out.

 

I guess all seals are going to be the same...

[mr shag]

i got a set of rubbers for my mk1 from E K all i would say is give them a ring they done me a better deal over the phone than through there ebay shop

Being a discerning tight-wad, I got these from the bay, pesimistically think that they wouldn't be very good.

 

Obviously it's a length from a roll, but it cuts nicely with a junior hacksaw, and, if carefully measured with 45 degrees, it butts up very nicely. I might try Tom's suggestion of glueing the ends with a piece of tubing inside.

 

Like Samurai's EKT experience, my door is sticking out at the bottom by 1/4 inch, but it is fully sealed all the way around.

 

I used an EKT boot seal, which I bought at the same time as front and rear screen seals, and can't really see a difference in quality, but can see a massive difference in price. I normally go with the mantra that you get what you pay for, but I think that this is an exception

 

Hope this helps

That flap that the seals sit on i might have to bend inwards..

 

lucky im doing bodywork at the moment....

[Tom]

give those seals time to settle in and shutting the doors/boot won't be so hard
