    Give Graham Coopers a call I got one off them before Xmas. Wasn't very expensive from memory.

    I'll be interested to hear what others have to say as I found most places don't stock door sill rubbers

    Also worth noting it's held on with 6-4 rivets

    or
    Its a Defender, modify it!

    I put a strip of steel 3 or 4 x 10mm on the outside of the rubber and bolted it on after drilling out the rivets. It has certainly held the rubber in place much better. Eventually, the rubber breaks at the top as per your photo.

    I just did mine. The problem being even when new if you happen to drag your foot across them as you get in or out they rip straight away as there is a metal strip in them that just provides an edge to tear on. cost about $12 each I think from BMI

    these must be the drain holes for use with the special optional extra of the self washing cab, IE: when it rains the water runs in and these holes are where the water runs out!

    If it's the seal I think it is it just joins the lower sill panel to the floor? Mine fell out, and I complained to the dealer. They fixed it with black silicone ... LOL
