can't recommend highly enough ! the new A seals look brilliant, was great to meet & talk with Jamie while he fitted them,
top bloke & top work !
was going to respray too but talked out of it by guys at " Universal Dent Removal" in East Kilbride.
astonished at recovery of colour !

Hello! Jamie sent me to Spain a pair of rubber pillar seals and they are a perfect fit. I definitely recommend them. I finally got rid of the nasty ones I had that were chewed off and old. It was an easy straight foward intallation. It took me just 1 hour to remove the old ones and fit the new ones. Thanks mate! Let me know if you have the upper window seals I will post pictures next week

[Jamie N]

Good stuff Eduardo, looking forward to seeing some more pics of your Elan, it looks stupendously clean. BTW this guy has the most phenomenal collection of Rock guitars, I thought i was a guitar fanatic until i saw Ed's collection, completely blew me away!, incredible.

This deserves its own thread. We need to see these guitar collections.

Jaja! thanks Jaime and Paul. Guitars are my passion... anyway, lets go back to the Elan.
Here are some pics of the car and its new pair of seals:

JaJa indeed!, that looks seriously suave Ed, lovely car. What we need now is some pics of it surrounded by those stunning Rock guitars just to make us even more envious (well those of us dyed in the wool guitar obsessed Rockers anyway ).

Hi Jamie N, I have read the various threads on the subject of M100 seals and your valiant efforts to solve our problems with the sub-standard originals, but haven't found an answer to the replacement of the roof header seal (Lotus part no A100V0125H), No 82 on the ELAN 11.01A diagram in the manual. Have you (or anyone else) been able to make one that works?

Like Steve pointed out mate the header seal in the thread above is the option you really want, putting the seal on the on the upper screen ledge with the A pillar seals connected to it all as one, and a smaller rubber seal on the hood where the old sponge was makes for an extremely watertight solution, also far neater than the usual tatty stuff, here is a picture but you can see more in the thread.
I have a small batch of these ready to fit, if you are interested send me a message and I will let you know whats involved fitting.

Just sent you a PM. I'd really like to buy all those seals please..

[clemo]

Got mine in the post this weekend .
This really is a fantastic piece of kit .
Looking forward to fitting it and transforming the tired look of the windscreen area .

GO buy one before he decides to stop making them .

[HJ2]

If Clemo says so... perhaps i might do just that!
Jamie, could you please send me a pm or email with the details please?

Hey there Jamie, you've got my mail, please send me the offer for both windscreen and door seals (again, sorry!)

[clemo]

Jamies hood seals and sides .

Go buy them while he is still making them .
Or else hang around with wet knees for another year and rotting sills waiting for the sponge versions that cost a fortune on ebay( £650 for last header seal only not sides) and hardly ever come up .

whilst Jamie has stacks of enthusiasm making them now , eventually someone will come along complaining about something and he will give up

( I hope this is not he case but 17 years of LEC has taught me one important thing )

Need it , see it , buy it .
Just saying ...
