qim Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 Hi I am trying to locate online, as I cannot find the Moss catalogue a fitting that may go into the body above the door where it meets the area behind the dashboard (sorry, there must be an easier way to say this...). It is possible a draft excluder. When I looked to the underside of the body where it meets the front of the door there are a number of holes, which I assume are meant to take something, but what is it?

TR 2100 Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 From memory: There is a fuzzy seal where the door meets the A-post, and There is a rubber seal where the top of the door meets the scuttle (with clips that are located in the body - I think these are the holes to which you refer) AlanR Quote Link to post Share on other sites

qim Posted November 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 Hi Bob Does that go on the door or on the body above? The holes are on the body above the door. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iain Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 (edited) I used an adhesive seal from Phoenix Trim http://phoenixtrim.co.uk/sponge-rubber-br-self-adhesive-br-srs-126-br-price-per-metre-576-p.asp It works brilliantly, doesn't need the clips ( if paint is clean and grease free) and also works on the door bottoms and forward return. This is the seal that goes on the under side of the scuttle to seal the door top edge as shown by Bobs link. No clips required Iain Edited November 24, 2017 by iain Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 It goes on the body, you will also need the small clips which hold it in place. Bob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TR 2100 Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 Hi Alan Do you knwo what part numbers are the rubber seals and clips? No idea - should be in the Moss on-line catalogue, but I haven't checked. If not, try TRF in the US. AlanR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 A post Gripped between the metal panel of the bulkhead side and the carpet/card trim cover - staple to trim board. . B post it is tacked to the fibre twist in the B post inner. Trim then goes over it. Called furflex - choose the colour you want https://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/category/40/draught-excluder Rubber seals and clips are on the Rimmer's link in the post #3 above.

qim Posted November 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 Sorry Bob and thank you Peter I thought those parts belonged to the door. Now I see the clips go into the body at the top of the door (whatever that's called)... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EdwinTiben Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 Sorry Bob and thank you Peter I thought those parts belonged to the door. Now I see the clips go into the body at the top of the door (whatever that's called)... Its not original on a early tr2, but i retro fit them to have a better seal than the draft excluder only. The rubber has to go down a failry end into the doorpost. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
qim Posted November 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 (edited) Thanks Edwin It could not be more descriptive. I'll get the missing parts. Where did you get the rubber seal? or do Rimmers sell it by the meter? Edited November 24, 2017 by qim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richardtr3a Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 Hi Qim. Try the Moss catalogue which shows a picture and the part numbers/ 2 x 603257 rubber seals 14 x 552901 clips to fit into the holes and secure the seal I have a hard copy catalogue and the drawings and technical advice is very helpful. If you order the parts and request a catalogue you will find searching for parts much easier. Good luck, Richard & H. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

qim Posted January 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) Hi I have the car in the bodyshop. I bought the draft exluders for the bottom of the ddors and the area between the front of tyhe door and the body, but now they ask me if there is not something to go at the rear of the door that acts also as a stop to prevent the door from rattlingI cannot see anything in the Moss catalogue. Thanks Edited January 3, 2018 by qim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobH Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 The Moss site no longer seems to have the useful picture for body trim but what they sell is this stuff Camilo - furflex ( item 552877RED for you I think ). https://www.moss-europe.co.uk/catalogsearch/result/?search_group=8982&q=draught+excluder It's 'P' shaped in cross-section and the flat bit is trapped by the trim panel behind the door opening, so that the round bit pushes on inside edge of the door. If you have the printed catalogue it's on page 130 item 6. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you have the printed catalogue it's on page 130 item 6. There should be a length of fibre that is retained in the groove of the B post to inner 1/4 panel. it is about 10" long and 3/8 x 1/2 (250mm x 10 x 12) This you nail/tack the P shaped flat bit to to retain before fitting inner trim panel. There was also a a very soft piece of diamond shaped rubber strip, mentioned in the parts book, I have never seen this fitted, but I guess it was supposed to be glued to the B post or door back edge.

EdwinTiben Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 Camilo, try using existing restoration photo reports, like mine. Pictures are always helpful. If you look at the B-post theres an excluder just behind the door catch. The later types had regular excluder without the closing lid at the top: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
qim Posted January 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 Hi Edwin (et al) Do you mean the red trim that is attached to the inside trim? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
