Re: [DML] Weatherstrip and Sun Damage

[Martin Gutkowski <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The original outer door seals (weatherstripping) need little or no 
excuse to shrink and go hard. They pull away form the bodywork and rip 
and/or tear and don't fit if you try and replace them dut to shrinkage.

I sell silicone rubber seals on ebay which should last a lifetime
