AFT Rubber Seal

Post by malin » Wed Nov 24, 2010 8:45 pm

Hi
this is my first time on any forum, so forgive me if this is in the wrong place, but here goes:
I am about to have my aft colour coded to upper body side, and have noticed that a breed of super moths have had their teeth into the rubber seal that goes around the aft where it meets the tin roof.

I have been in contact with one garage who sell them for about £120+VAT, which I think is quite alot.
Does anyone know where I could get one more cheaply, or whether there is a cheaper alternative which fits and works.
many thanks
Malin

There's been a lot of discussion about this so have a search. BUT I had not heard of the pukka ones being sold anywhere so would be interested to know who is selling them. £120 may seem excessive but I think not too surprising for a specialist item like this (esp. if its a Mazda part) and I know I'd happily pay it if it proved necessary on my 15yr old Bongo which, overall, has been a phenomenally good car to own, repairs-wise. 8)

Try these Guys http://www.sealsdirect.co.ukI bought a window seal for our caravan which fits perfectly. They have a very wide range of different profile for caravans, car, van, marine, etc. and actually specialise in seals for old Jags and Moggy Minors.

Seriously worth a look as i think they have exactly what you are looking for.
