Hi,

I've just joined but I can't yet post any replies or wanted advert !! I'm after a new door seal, the seal that goes on the car not actually on the door.

Any pointers ? I guess you can't buy them new ?!

Cheers,

Simon
 
Hello Simon and welcome to the forum. (y)

I'd imagine if someone on here has a spare or access to a breaker they'll see your post and will get in touch.
 
Welcome,

Provided the seal hasn't perished or torn there is a cheap fix you can do if the seal isn't air tight which involves sliding some rubber brake line hose into the seal to bulk it out, might be worth a go as the brake hose rubber is cheap to get hold of and doubles the life of your door seals (y)
 
Hi, thanks for the responses !

It sounds a bit funny this but its not actually for a cougar !!

I have a 1995 Lotus Elan, most of the roof seals and door seals are now obsolete. Ingenious owners have been trying to find door/roof/bonnet seals off other cars and adapting them to fit !!

The nearest contender for the front hood seal seems to be a Cougar door seal at the minute. Therefore it doesn't matter which side its from.

Cheers,

Simon
