Only nasty bit on my P38 is the two rear door rubber surrounds. The ones visible from outside. Seems to be a common problem on these cars.
Have been to the dealer and they are(surprise!)very expensive.
About £60 each.
Is it possible to buy these anywhere else?
Thanks...
 
I've been thinking about these to, maybe some sanding and satin finish black paint. Are they steel or alu?

:welcome2:yeh mine was the same
so i changed them ,went to a local breakers found a 2000 m/year rangie with good seals on . so removed window lower seal ,one small screw and prized it off. next the problem seal , you need to carefully prize off each side followed by the top, be very carefull a bit heavey handed:5bsmash: and you will kink the metal strip within the rubber this is what rusts under the rubber
they are rather a tight fit so i found some fairey liquid soap helps to get them back into place
be extra carefull on the corners as they are rubber only with no metal inside
as you take them off you need to prize them towards the centre of the window as they fit on very much like a door seal u shaped onto a metal lip
picked my set up for a fiver:) but i think from landrover they are about £35-£40:( per side and they are handed
hope this helps
 
Yes the ones on my P38, it was all four that sort of bubble up under the rubbers (its ali inside), the door rubber surrounds.

The ones visible from outside. they are a common problem on the P38.
Have been to the dealer and they very expensive but had to go to two dealers as they don't make them anymore, so it a case if they have any sitting in the dark?
.
They are about £60 each with the VAT and I have replecaed all mine now for new ones.
(To buy these anywhere else?) well I don't think so and RR are not making them anymore so you have to ring up dealers all over the land with a part number will help? also refitting them, its better to strip the doors down take a 4\5 hours to do all four?
