    Door rubber seals for RRC ?

    Need to replace mine on the '89.
    Any suggestions on aftermarket replacements that actually fit?
    Or has anyone tried using a general extrusion from an industrial rubber suppler?

    Thanks in adv.

    Graeme Cooper's use Disco 1 & 2 seals have never tried myself. What I did do over the weekend was salvage the door seal from a Hybrid 1979/1985/1987 so who knows what the seals were on originally. What I did notice is that my original Phase 2 seals were 1 piece, that started in the top rear corner and ran all the way around the door and was then mitred and adhered to itself in the same location. The one I salvaged was joined in two places at both top corners and I don't think it works as well as the original.

    For pinchweld you can try around rubber companies, I know the one at Nowra carries it. Your other option is scotts old auto rubber in their catalogue. The problem with generic pinchweld seal is that it is black and not colour coded to your car.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    I'm pretty sure that late classic rangies just used the generic pinchweld seals same as the common holdens and falcons which can be bought by the metre at clark rubber.

    Thanks guys,

    I got one quote from a local supplier - $180 per door

    Scotts Old rubber have the extrusion for about $12/m.

    I'm pretty sure it's this generic extrusion (see pic - from industral rubber supplies), so I'm going to ring around to see if anyone in perth carries it

    Buy generic pinchweld or the Scotts pinchweld, as new door seals still have the gaps at the bottom which let water in. Th eonly thing is that instead of grey pinchweld the afternmarket is black.
    I bought 1 new seal from UK several years ago, then used bits to replace the parts with the slots. you can just super glue the butt ends.
    You then have to cut slits/punch holes maybe half way up the doors to let the air out of the seal when you close the door.
    I went through a long 65-70CM deep river crossing recently and no water in, but my headlights and spots filled up.LOL
