Sliding door rubber

[rolandtheclipper]

Our rubber doesn't seem to sit in flush, which is stopping the door from closing correctly. Looking at Dubfreeze today, quite a few bays had much smaller/thinner rubbers. We're pretty sure we got ours from a big supplier some years ago, so any suggestions on what to get and where to get a new one from? Is there any difference from LHD to RHD?
Cheers

Hi I know this is a silly question but are you shutting the slider correctly, once you have closed the door you have to lift the handle until the door closes completely, the rubbers are sided ie left and right, i had the same problem with the rubber not being the correct profile, its best to buy new OE quality seals they are a lot more expensive but its worth it in the end, Most of the main suppliers sell them just look around for the best price (dont forget Custom & Commercial have 10% discount for members of this forum just use this code when ordering EBFR2017) also you may have to adjust the hinge closing mechanism, bit long winded to explain here but easy enough so have a look in the Bentley manual
Hope this is of some help

Have you put it in the correct way? They only fit one way.

right we think we brought a cheap one as receipt is 28 quid says it for the left door on a right hand door. will buy the correct fit one from custom and commercial when they are back in stock. which bit goes at the bottom?
