Brett,

I've gone slightly off-topic. I mean the part of the front door (outer) seal that runs along the B-pillar. You have to set it in the groove cock-eyed and not pushed in fully from the waistline down to the sill, in order for the seal's lip to contact the door frame when closed.

Thanks for the info Rob.
Thanks Tim. Yeah I couldn't believe it when I saw the horn contacts with 'buy it now' option. I must just have opened the page as they were posted. Sometimes you're lucky. Just to clarify, the rubber route over the bottom hinge: just a straight line between the channels before and after the hinge?

That is right. Will squash flat over time.

Clay is right,

The original rubbers were different profile and glued over the hinge in that area only, the new rubbers don't have the special flat bits as per the original so they just glue on and will be squashed flat over time.

Rubber route over the bottom hinge: definitely not straight-line between the channels above and below. You want to make the rubber turn inboard on leaving the channel above the hinge, so it sits on top of the screw heads.

Both Scott's photo and your "before" photo show the correct lay of the rubber.

Rob

Thanks for info everyone. I can now attest that you can install a rear outer rubber door seal without taking the door off. Got door clamped shut for a few days now to settle it all down after spraying some Rares magic rubber stuff. It's nice and warm today so back to front seat rails and seat trim prep and painting. Special rubber fitting tool in photo.

Great tool there from the kitchen. Hope your misses is not on this forum

Hi Stephen. No trouble there: that ones from my shed drawer. If it was one of the 'proper' ones I would be running still.

Phew.......

PS: I remember getting in trouble as a kid when I used the ends of Mum's soup spoons as tyre levers on my push bike.

Doesn’t take long for my kitchen utensils to all end up in the garage. To the point my wife bought a cutlery set from Kmart and put it in my tool chest

Oh no. Better get her some spanners for the cutlery drawer.

It would not be an Aussie kitchen unless some of the dinner knives had bent ends from being used as screwdrivers or prise bars

Somehow my story about a car has turned into an expose' on the use of kitchen cutlery. Who would've thought.

Question without notice. Are ute and sedan sunvisors the same?

I believe the centre roof brackets have a slightly different contour, however can be massaged to work fine. Van is a different story. The actual visor and side mounts are all the same.
