Longshot: I am looking for the bottom piece of the driver door rubber seal, the part that fits under the stainless cover plate on the rocker. I know it's all one piece but I am not concerned with the condition of the vertical A-piller section. Anyone? Thanks.
 
Steve:
Are you asking for the Door Seal item 8?
I believe I saved the seals I removed and you are welcome to them.

Unfortunately Dan’s piece isn’t going to work after all so I’m still on the hunt!
 
-Steve,

If the piece you're looking for is the one pictured here, you may have about as much luck as I did last time I was looking for the same discrete part of the entire door rubber seal that is essentially only available as one big, continuous item.

No one had a decent used one available when I last put out a "WTB," - probably because that is the piece that takes the most abuse and gets ripped and torn to such a degree that folks finally buy the whole seal. - and their left overs may be generally okay, except for the bottom part that you need.

You may have better, non-original luck with some of the Steele Rubber alternatives that other members here have identified. They work pretty well. I used the round profile, but would try the non-round profile if was to do it again.

Or maybe someone here just might have some good ones to throw your way. You never know. - Good luck in your search.
 
Here’s the profile followed by what I am going to try from Steele. Might need some trimming to fit under the stainless. I’ll post results.

Steve - I just did a repair on mine to get me through LOTA, but its not great and its not going to last. Peter Coomaraswamy found a Steel Rubber product:

What are the best sources for complete door seals? I'm missing parts on the driver's side,and the passenger side is not is great shape either.

Mine and my friend's Ceylon have a different profile piece (the one in the pic above) than Peter's. I ordered the other one and see they've already shipped, they could rival BelMetric and McMaster for turnaround. We can compare our hack solutions next month!

Once again, I find myself planning to watch you figure something out so I can just follow in your footsteps.
 
Am I right, there is a thread on this forum which summarizes all the seal-related stuff?

Maybe - in case this is not there - worth to add the info from above?

Probably this is a question to @Markos or @HB Chris or?

Not so fast, I just realized that the rocker section is supposed to have the plastic ribbing attached to the rubber, I thought it was only held in place by the stainless piece. It's now clear that the ribbing and rubber seal have parted ways over the years, so I am going to splice the new piece in and leave my original ribbing as is. I hope @HB Chris doesn't look too closely!
