where can I buy the black tubular rubber door seals for a '96 D1? Mine seem to be ripping and flaking in some spots. Any thoughts? |

I could be wrong but I think that stuff is fairly generic, they have a bunch of different sizes of it at auto parts stores and some special adhesive to secure it. |

Yon can get genuine one from roverconnection.com. Try them and let us know how much you paid and how easy(hard) it is to replace them.

The problem with the door seals is that the gasket is glued to a brown trim piece. That is what holds it in place and makes it a Rover only part. You can carefully trim the rubber gasket off with a razor blade and glue on an aftermarket replacement without much trouble. It will look just fine.
Rico cut the gasket off with a razor blade starting up about 4 inches from the bottom of the door and replaced it with something similar from a local auto parts store. The good news is that the replaced gasket does a much better job of keeping out water than the old one since the gap is now much higher up.
Thanks,
