All round rubber seals

[ABZY]

Guys could do with changing some seals and previous restores can get generic seals by the meter theat are similar - are there any pointers on rubber seals other than doing the usual ordering from W & N or Jaymic????

Door Seals
Boot/ trunk seal

This is a killer subject
be prepared to dig DEEP for door seals !! no pattern parts and each door is liable to cost 300 GBP plus :-(

Door seals in the US are $225 from the Internet BMW dealers, a few years ago they were $425!

I got generic door seals from a supply house (for the seals that go vertically on the back edge of the door) for a dollar or so a foot. I'll have to find my paper work on what I used. Didn't need the ones that go around the door frame, so can't help you there.

The seals came from restoration Specialities, in PA. Part number 4707

Would anyone be kind enough to picture the profile with sizes of profile and length. I am determined to find a solution even if it means getting some made as the prices are riddiculus.

If I find suppliers for it I will share with the people who supply measurements/ picture of profile e.g. side on etc.

thanks in anticipation.

Looking for:

Boot/ Trunk
Engine Bay various
Door Seal frame & door

I've used these guys to good effect for vintage trim

A quick search of the woolies-trim site for "3.0CS" finds no results....?

It's just a source for generic trim.
I've used them for trim parts by matching up they specs with measurements of the old part.
Once you've decided to go non-OEM these folks can be a resource.
