BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 This is the one I use.https://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/product/1928/small-boot-seal Stuart. Stuart have you ever tried this seal section on sidescreen cars for boot lid and spare wheel hole? The new replacement rubber seals I have are just horrid as they are too big and too hard.

Peter W No, for pre 60K cars I use the ordinary off the roll seal and cut it into 4 sections and mitre the corners together with super glue, that means the boot lid will sit down properly, For the spare wheel well I use a sticky backed 3M closed cell foam strip that comes on a roll you do need to tension it as you fit it so it sits down in the channel but you can then get the door to fit in nice and snug.
