What he said....
I can't see the point of that when the real thing will be the right shape, size and length and about the same cost.

Same cost? When I last looked a genuine door seal was around £60

I'm not sure if what I got was genuine (Bearmach?) but it was no way near £60 per seal.

I read in one of the old LRO mags i got floating around, that LR didnt want to seal the defender too well, otherwise it would float too much, sinking aids traction to cross water.

Through holes in the floor of course
All Land Rovers leak - but they let it out again with supreme efficiency!
Yeah you're all right sealing it would be an awful idea... was hoping 20 quid worth might have done me... diesel eats pretty much all of my pay so I try to save as much as possible with stuff like this... specially since im doing piston rings hg and big end bearings in summer and I know i need loads of money cause more than likely more stuff than that will need replaced
Going by every body panel I would say that being the real thing does not guarantee correct fit haha

I saw a post on here today. Genuine seals where £21 a door. He did his for £4.10
That was me and fitting is much easier with a hairdryer.
Corrected for accuracy

Cant see the difference seals would make ie genuine or otherwise. They all leak and if they didn't the water would get in somewhere else...or the wind....
