Not sure tape was put on originally, so it could be anything. It's pretty dry there, so not much of a problem with the steel lids sitting on the seat box. After I painted mine I put a strip of self adhesive foam around the edge, just to stop potential rattles and help keep noise down. I suppose it's keeping the steel and ali apart too.

It's called gaffer tape although I'm sure land rover originally wouldn't have used something so expensive. Mine hasn't got anything on the lids

Looks a bit thick that. I used this LINKY and cut it in to narrow strips. Used it in quite a few places on the Landy.

Been thinking! I used the 3mm stuff on the seat box. I used thicker stuff, as per Ian Maycock, for the gear box tunnel. Sorry Ian

no probs mate didn't know YRM did that stuff brought the stuff from paddocks as got the part number out of the defender parts catalogue its about 5mm thick but squashes down to nothing when tightened down with a bolt.
Was away to order 5m of the 20mm tape from YRM (£4.95 I think), but was then getting stung with £12 postage as delivery companies didn't do geography at school and think I live in the highlands.
Regardless, if delivered to my office (also not in the highlands), its £6.50 postage!
I called YRM, but there is nothing they can do about the postage cost.
Is this just a standard foam? Can I get it from anywhere? I'm not paying £6.50 postage for something that cost less than a fiver!

Draught excluder tape from any DiY store will do.

+1 if it's just for the seat box. I bought a few job lots at YRM so delivery well worth it. Drove there a few times too as it's not to far from me. Sorry, didn't consider the postage. You can get it on ebay LINKY
