Thread: Replace Door Seals

I have been told that I can use "Defender" door seals on my 1975 Series 3 SWB, that they are moulded same shape and instead of blind rivet, they pop in and fit just as well. Anyone have any comments or suggestions. Been pretty hard to source original seals locally, and as a novice, not that confident in replacing with originals as heard blind rivets can be a bit tricky and easy to punch through seal. Have also been quoted large difference in price from $140 to $45 per door. I do need to replace RH and LH front doors and rear.
