Door seals

[davidsavid]

Hi I wonder if anyone can help me I have a 1970 2 door saloon I recently purchased a set of door seals from ESME and now I am having trouble closing the door I can see that my striker plate needs renewing but removing the rubber and the door shuts fine I am guessing I need a thinner rubber ? Anyone help/advise would be appreciated.

the modern push on type seals are thicker than the original ones
email steve parker at the workshop at esm he used to keep thinner push on ones

Or with a rubber mallet tap in the flange that it clips onto all the way around.

They do ,eventually ,flatten ,if you can put up with having to slam the door a bit,its a common problem.

If you're storing the car over winter you'll probably find come spring they'll have flattened fine.

I've had the same issue, bought modern rubber type from esm & my doors wont shut at all. I've had to take them off again for now.

Yes to be fair to ESM they did say there were a couple of types ....... Trust me to opt for the wrong ones

Have you tried adjusting the striker plates outwards slightly?
