natty Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Hi Folks I have just fitted some new door seals to my 13/60 herald saloon but now i can not shut the doors without giving them a good slam. I bought them from MEV spares. My question is are they the wronge ones,has anyone had the same problem as me and if so how did you cure it, i was thinking maybe i should have bought them from canley classics or rimmer brothers. Any help would be great cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Are the rubber bits tubelike? If so they are the same as supplied by many people. However, IIRC original ones have a lip. Bill at Rarebits is the man for all things Herald. may not be as cheap as ebay, but not much more. But he ONLY sells quality stuff, especially seals. I doubt you can return them just because the are not original in style. You can knock the metal lip that the seals push onto back inwards a little using a hammer and bit of wood.

Colin Lindsay Posted July 13, 2023 Report Share Posted July 13, 2023 Thanks Pete; that DX73 rings a bell; I've just done a forum search and it seems to be the job. Now I'll have to work out how much I need for a saloon / estate (plus the rear hatch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
