Defender / 90 Door seals

I bought some replacement front door seals for my 1985 90 and ripped off the drivers side one to fit the replacement but I've found that the top section is not long enough (by about a centimetre or so) to fit from corner to corner of the door frame.

I tried to centre the top strip to minimse how far out the corners were but this meant that when I tried to close the door it was a struggle... with a bit of force, the door closed but has immediately pinched the rubber which pretty much defeats the object of replacing them as I am sure that's now going to leak.

The seals were Britpart and I think they came from Paddocks but I've had so much stuff delivered during the cold season and sat around waiting to be fitted I am no longer sure what came from where.

Has anyone else experienced similar problems?
Sorry I've not got pics, as I know that would be helpful... I've been trying and failed to get the photobucket iphone app to work as yet :-(

I would expect them not to fit properly they are made by britpart. Sorry.

Try automobiletrim.com. Their part No.180/MOQ worked perfectly on my Range Rover and didn't cost silly money.

Have they got britpart packaging?

I wondeer if you can just get them swapped by any Britpart agent?

Eggwood - do you work for that company as you seem to be resurrecting all the old threads and pointing us into the direction of that site :lol:
