What does everyone here do for door seals, or more importantly, where did you get them and are you happy with the purchase?

Mine are showing their age, actually they are just getting hard and the seven coats of paint on them has not helped matters. I'd like to replace them with something that seals, but doesn't require full body contact to close the door either.

What's that? Can't be done?! Never mind I'll get my coat...

Tom I got the original seals from TNLRs and they seem to match what I have now. Off course its a bit hard to close the door for a few days until the rubber gives but at least you have the same look. I think there is also the seals you glue on and the one from AB feel softer but you have to glue instead of riveting, and its a roll not individual pieces.

I bought some aftermarket cheapy stuff from David Gage. It was tough to glue on, I didn't spend alot of time making it look good, thinking I was going to take it off when I painted and replaced parts.

All in all, over two years later, it has held up very well and I will do the same again next time. I don't know what he used but I think he is still around.

The S2 Club (UK) is moving forward on new production using the original tooling. Nothing solid yet, but they are collecting names/quantities from interested parties to get firm pricing. This is the S2 stuff with the metal strip in it, just like the originals, but softer/more-pliable than what's available now.

I'm in for a set, and we might save on shipping by going bulk, then distribute at a shop day. Just a thought... More info below.

The original "long" thread (scroll to the end for current status):
S2 Club Door Seal Thread (http://www.s2cforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=7213.0)

There are individual threads to add your name/qty, based on what you want:
I want front door seals (http://www.s2cforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=20194.0)
I want 109 rear side door seals (http://www.s2cforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=20193.0)
I want tailgate only seals (http://www.s2cforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=20191.0)
I want a full rear door seal (http://www.s2cforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=20192.0)

Thanks Tom! I put my name on the list.

I have also offered to have one package sent to me and then I will distribute then here in the States. I believe this will be cheaper in the long run. Stay tuned for details.

The deal is finally going through, here is the official thread (http://www.s2cforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,20479.0.html), with all the details.

I did speak with Richard at the Land Rover Orphanage today, and you'll need to get your name on his list, then square-up with him on payment around mid-May.
