Robbie, Keith etc,
I've spent some time looking for a suitable foam for sealing the flaps. I'd be surprised if any have survived without replacement, they all seem to disintegrate to dust. Typical of Lotus to find a biodegadable solution!
I've looked for a foam that is the right thickness (about 3mm), closed cell, likely to survive well and ideally, in sheet form rather than strip. Domestic door sealing strips look good and can be self adhesive but they fail my last test.
I've eventually found a foam sheet that is used under wooden floors but B&Q only sell it in rolls of several square metres at about ?40. I eventually found a local supplier who sell it by the metre so I have a rather large piece. I'm happy to share some of my spare stock with other UK owners.
