Door glass seals

[jono]

I bought new door glass seals for my last Plus 2 restoration (from Mick Miller Lotus I think) and found that they were way, way, too tight such that the glass was essentially 'stuck'. I opted to re use the original seals.

I am at a similar stage with my latest project and wonder if anyone else has come across this issue and whether you found a supplier of better seals which allowed the glass to slide easily?

Cheers

Hi Jon, I used seals from SJS in my S4 and they were a bit thin, so the opposite of your problem but that might have been down to the door top openings
. There are 2 sizes on the Woolies site that might be worth a look

Cheers Mike,

Just spoken to a lovely lady at Woolies who without me even asking said would I like some samples sent in the post - FOC!

What a great compnay. I will post the reference for whichever profile works best

Just went through the same problem with my +2. They were so tight I physically couldn't get them to close, even with the frame out of the car. Got replacements from Macgregor British car parts:

They fit beautifully and the glass slides closed under gravity alone (when held upside down). They're located Toronto, Canada.

Not sure if this will help as its 20 years old now, but I created this document when I replaced the 'Silent channel' rubber extrusions on my S4.

Only Paul (Adamson) would know where he got his channel but even at the time he couldn't remember!

Woolies were so helpful with samples and customer service generally - the seal which works is their code number 319 which I've just ordered.

Glad you've found one that works. Agree your comments on Woolies, I've always found them an excellent company to deal with.
