Just worried they might block the drain holes though I've got some early bonnet side seals to fit, and need the long one across the back. Then I need these pictured above and hopefully that should be all seals put as they should be. Interestingly I noticed that early cars had a different boot seal, which isn't joined at the bottom, whereas later ones are - a part that was actually improved! |

These seals fit by a series of clips that run the length of the door, so the bottom of the door has to have the pre drilled holes for the clips to go into. They are not held in place via the drain holes. When I removed the seals of the donor car, I could not get the clips out as well. I hoped my car would have had the series of holes so I could buy what looked like 'T' style clips that seal hooked around, but as I said, no holes were there! Shame as the car would have been 'complete' with them on. Seems odd to delete the front doors and not the back. But then they did delete them all eventually.

Bah, just checked all my doors again and the only holes I have empty are 2 drain holes on each door. So I would have to drill holes.
If you look at the details of the door seals on Rimmer Bros here: http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-GRID001785 you can see that the front's were deleted at VIN 114184 and the rears were deleted at VIN 122780. Odd. Also with the fronts being deleted at VIN 114184, I think that makes it the earliest 'Project-Drive' deletion, even if that name wasn't used for the cost-cutting until a bit later. |
