Front Door pillar seals
Afternoon Guys, after some help, my 1990 Multivan, its currently being resprayed, but having difficulty tracking down front door seals that attach to the door pillars via a grove. It must be a newer addition as looked at a couple of earlier vans at Sandown Park and they didnt have the seals fitted. Any help greatly appreciated i can attach a picture if that helps. Trying to track down to replace as current ones are split :? .. thx Gaz

It would appear looking around the Forum I'm looking for whistle stop strips, which are also like rockin horse sh*t...along with the roof gutter strips that fell apart on removal...

There is a pair of seals on ebay that need the doors removing to fit. There is also an additional rubber strip that ran along the angled edge of a cab door. I'#e seen billy739 list them for sale before

Re: Front Door pillar seals

Re: Front Door pillar seals
Thanks for you help guys. I will see if i can salvage my whistle stops before i buy more used ones, seeing a lot of parts are now obsolete, potential money spinner for a buddy entrepreneur. Ref gutter trim, i see a few posts ref using classic mini trim, would you recommend?

I will take a photo, will have to get over the spray shop.. as the doors are off would be a good time to get the new ones in..

Re: Front Door pillar seals
have a look at http://www.woolies-trim.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; They do a wide range of seals and everything else for trimming out classic vehicles. They usually have a stand at most classic car shows and are a very good company to deal with, I've had lots of stuff from them over the years.

Re: Front Door pillar seals
Would these have been on a 1984 van? Mine was totally stripped when I bought her so I can't tell.
