    Where to obtain door seals / rubbers for Defender 130?

    Though I presume all pre 2007 Defenders are the same...

    I noticed that the door seals (well, what are laughably called seals, so 'rubbers' is probably a better word) on my ute are cactus. Shot. Buggered. Stuffed. Toast.

    If anyone can point me in the right direction as to where to obtain replacements, ideally for less than heap$$$$, that'd be great.

    Cheers

    British Auto parts
    Land Rover Parts - RUBBER SEALS - DEFENDER

    sell them , but no idea of quality or other price comparisons


    Side question. Windscreens O'Brien replaced my windscreen rubber about 5 years ago after my original one fell apart. They said their rubber was much better than the original. They also said they could do my 130 rear quarter cab rubbers. So I'm also wondering how the UK sourced rubbers stack up, and if there are any alternatives.

    I retrofitted the late model door seals to my 2008 130, it was well worth it; the hot wind that roars in under the doors in hot weather is a thing of the past and the noise level is much reduced.

    It was a few of years ago, got the suggestion from a post on here so search should bring up threads with part numbers etc. The late model Defender lower door seals are a modern car-style seal rather than the old L-section rubber joke. The retrofit involved drilling some holes in the door frames, maybe an hour or so's work.

    And they'd be suitable for a Tdi, or are they only for Puma Deefers?

    UES (United Engineering Supplies) sell all sorts of body and smash repair. Clips rubbers, funny things. You name it, they probably have it.

    Two options: Go to Clark Rubber. Use your existing seal and choose a new pitchweld door seal profile to match.

    Pinchweld - Rubber Extrusion | Clark Rubber

    This is $18/m and you will about 2m per door. But then you need to some cut to length (very sharp scissors or knife). You can use silicone to join the corners.

    Or Genuine seals are available here:

    Land Rover Parts - DOOR SEALS - DEFENDER

    They are $45 per door plus postage.

    The above rubbers are only for around the doors. You will need a different rubber for along the bottom. On yours, the seal is attached to the body, later models ( i think from pumas on) have the seal attached to the door.

    For your model I have found that the Britpart rubbers are softer then the Bearmach ones. The softer rubber makes it easier to shut the door. These rubbers get abused by people getting in and out of the vehicle. so wear out quite quickly. They are also attached with rivets so are a little more work to drill out the old rivets and attach the seal using new rivets.

    Refer to the Landrover Parts link above for these lower door seals
