Default waist height, rear inner door seals

What a mess! My rear window collapsed last week as a result of the window guide rusting. This has been discussed before, but its now becoming an issue as there no waste height inner door seals available. . The bubbling along the strip toward the rear corner glass has been ignored for a few years, but now I can see what's happening! Please let me know if the upper waist height door seals are available anywhere. These will be required by everyone keeping their Rovers sooner or later, as it will become imperative for the cars security and weatherproofing.

sorry to appear dim, could you add a picture of which part you mean?
I'm going to a scrap yard in a few days and may pick these up if there is an issue

thank you

I have also been looking for these, my door trim has come away from the door now, I have searched local scrappies all to no avail.
As you say most if not all of us will need this fixing at some point and some sooner than others.

I will keep searching for now but I fear it's getting fruitless because the ones that are being scrapped have the same problem from what I have seen.

You might get lucky if you look for the limo rear inner waist seals. I was fortunate recently and have managed to get a good pair to replace mine but i had previously got a limo seal which just needs to be trimmed down to fit.

if you want to take the risk of ordering from China

Been looking for an possible alternative for a while on and off ( when i remember )



Wondering if there is a plastic Tee section that can be modified to fit , as this trim is only to fill a hole ( and maybe wipe the window inner face? ).


Got a couple of rubber samples from Woolies , of a sort of tee section with plastic base and rubber top ..


not pulled my bubbly trim off yet, so not sure of the actual sizes .




but these are the two I have at the moment .. not quite a full tee but the rubber top is nice and pliable ..








Sure there may be just other plastic tee section out there ??
