Homemade Pillar Epdm Seal Oem Style

[Portugal_lotus]

Hello Friends,
I was not sure if I should share but my love for the Lotus Elan M100
and for this forum is stronger than any bad admin attitude … let’s go forward !
Here goes my sharing with all of you:
after having seen everything of Jamie ( king of seals ) has done,
I tried my luck and went looking for alternatives,
I found several seals in a car parts warehouse, of which only one of the 7 I brought fit perfectly in the pillar rail,
when I say perfectly , it fits even better than the original sponge and without any glue !
the challenge now was to do the finishing , so I thought of making an exact copy of the lip of the original and sent it to a rubber house where I paid to make several lips for the finishing , 3 days ago I went to get the finishing and started welding to the rubber of the car, the result is phenomenal! however I have plenty of lips to improve the visual finish, when I have more time I will share it with you.
Thanks to Jamie for the idea.
