HB seal reference

Postby rizzo » Fri Nov 16, 2018 9:44 pm

Ive been looking at the seals on my HB so thought id post up a reference, it might be of interest
first one is the boot seal, ive not seen a new one so im not sure if the profile changes in areas.


Interestingly the boot seal being offered by East kent trim is nothing like this :(

Nice detailed pictures and as you say a good reference for all of us, as for the boot seal ive never come across a profile like the original so its just a matter of finding something that works! I think you will find most of east kent trim stuff is just universal profiles that are available from any trim place and not specially made to match the original Vauxhall profiles.
With the door seals the bit you have shown is the section that runs over the glass frame, its a different shape everywhere else! the Australians do a good repro door rubber which is almost a perfect fit
Ive never used the east kent trim screen rubbers but have been told they are OK, they are cheap as well compared to the Australian rubbers ive used in the past which were only an OK ish fit!

When I restored my saloon, I replaced most of the seals, the door seals & outer door glass seals came from Scotts old rubber in Australia, the windscreen seal came from Viva 2300 on here, & i'm fairly sure that I used East Kent for the door glass channel seals. I found their outer door glass seals don't go deep enough to be able to be fixed to the door but they do a profile off the roll the same as the rear screen / tailgate. I've purchased a front screen rubber off East Kent for my estate but I haven't fitted it yet

Yeh ive heard of Scotts rubber and will check out the site for more info, although on mine ive removed the door seal mount channel to come up with a new idea, which i think might work.
Not sure what im doing with the boot seal but the one offered by East Kent Trim is totally different and mounts to the boot seal area lip which is almost not a lip so really don't think its of any use. I think your right in saying that they are just looking online for a simple solution.
So the outer window seal and boot seal wont work by he look of it. :(
