Are East Kent Trim flip and door seals any good?

Post by ClaytonSpeed » Thu Apr 14, 2016 12:07 pm

As title asks; are the seals from EKT any good? I need some new ones for the Van (flip and door) but wanted to know if anyone had brought them before?

Also looking for van rear door seals (rocking horse poo...?) - Anyone got any ideas?

I bought some at the NEC last year, I offered them up on my Pickup but never got round to fitting them. The looked to fit well from what I could see and were a fair approximation to the remains of the original ones.

I've fitted the front door seals fine, I've got the flip seals here ready to fit but I'm waiting until I'm in a calm patient mood to fit them. I'll let you know how I get on.

Haha. Well any pictures of the fit when you do would be great. I assume the door seals are moulded ? In one piece?

Flip seals went in very easy, good fit. I must have got the door seals from somewhere else as they join in the top corner and are not moulded. I glued them with rubber adhesive.
