Title: Front Door Rubber Post by: KFH on August 01, 2008, 06:44:32 PM I am now starting to work on the body and have found the the original outer door rubber has, on the front of car side, an molded to it a flat section that goes between the body and the guard. Replacement rubbers do not have this profile. What do others do? Forget about this flat section of rubber? I can attach a picture if necessary?

This is not a problem in itself, but a mistake a lot of people make is not replacing this strip of rubber when the guard is put on. It makes a slight difference to the way the guard fits and also stops water going between the guard and the body.

I had intended fitting a strip of rubber under the guard as you described. You have reinforced my thoughts. Keith |
