Saloon boot seal ( replace )

FRANKIE67 · 9th February 2017, 11:39

Seen quite a few posts regarding mending a 75 saloon rubber boot seal but is there a replacement available ?
Not sure about going down the breakers route due to condition & wear.
Is there a link someone could point me to please.

I bought one from Rimmers a couple of years back. Whatever you do, make sure you take a photo on how the current one is fitter, flat side in from memory.

Thank You all for your responses.

Ordered one from a breakers in the end which I can return if not fit for purpose.

If not appropriate will buy a new one from Rimmer Bros.
( I was actually told that they did not have them anymore by someone )

Will advise how it all turns out.

Thanks Again
Frank

Good Evening All

The boot seal from the breakers turned out to be in decent condition so was fitted today with the remanufactured rear light seals from Jezzer1.

Under £40 for both so was a reasonably cheap fix.

Also had the exhaust replaced this weekend , not so cheap but apparently it was the original fitted from the factory.
