Door window/door card inner seals

Postby OZZY » Mon 08.08.2011, 18:06

Can anyone point me in the right direction for these?

I know the outer seals are available and there's a Wiki on making some up yourself but I cant find anything on the inner seals.

The ones I am after run the length of the door / window and are fastened by screws to a metal plate on the top of the door, the edge then covers the top of the door card.

I have found an item from the parts manual but the profile is not the same as mine (i have an S2 so maybe they are different).

Can anyone shed some light?

Thanks very much David, I have actually ordered one from Paul Mattys the other day.......but what I just can't understand is whilst the interior strips cost approx £3.00 the exterior ones cost approx £75! I was sure that I must have got the wrong part and so was the guy I ordered it from, so surprised in fact that he phoned Lotus to check and apparently it's correct. I'll believe it when I see it!

Thanks for confirming my findings. :D

The inner is just a strip of felt with an adhesive backing, It only stops you from seeing the cable-operated window mechanism, and maybe stops dust falling in. It is not a water-stopper like the outside rub strip.
