Hi all, fixing various bits in my door I noticed that the brush seal is detaching from the inner door edge. My car has the early clip-on brush type which doesn't seem to be available any more. I have seen reports here of replacing with the stick-on type (hairy worm?) But I wasn't sure if this was to replace the clipped type or the later type which was stick-on anyway. So has anyone replaced the clipped with the stick-on. What did you use and how successful was it? My brushes are actually in good condition apart from rusted clips so does anyone know a source of clips? Finally if anyone has any bits of old clipped brush seal kicking around but which still have one or two intact clips please pm me as I could probably relieve you of that burden.
Cheers
Mike

Thanks for that - I'll be needing some for the Elite at some point. Let us know if you find any of the brushes themselves!

Re: Window to door brush seals
Glad it helped. Woolies also list brushes for use with these clips 15mm thickness which I think is right for these cars. Window weatherstrip part no 152

I have bought quite a stock of these to make the £4 postage worthwhile so I can let you have them at cost and a much more reasonable postage if you let me know how many you need.
