 Re: door rubbers
Europa or Woolies catalogue loads of choices on universal seals,

 Re: door rubbers
Don't be tempted, as I was, to fit the 'oversized balloon' type seals. They were just a little too wide and made closing the door a feat of strength until they gradually bedded down.

 Re: door rubbers
The seals my coupe have at this moment are the 'balloon' type that is mentioned here before. So I want to replace those door seals, so I can close the door's better. But when I search for mini mk1 door rubbers I get different results, like: http://www.minimania.com/web/Item/ALA5897/InvDetail.cfmOR http://www.minispares.com/Product.aspx?pid=33949So widths one is the best? Any ideas? Or maybe some one knows a better seal for the job?

I know the K3 is vastly different the only 100% way to keep that dry was leave it in the garage if it was raining
