Add me to your ever growing list please Jamie. Sadly, I seem to be at the end of a long queue, so have limited expectations. :|

I'm sure this is not news, but I've just bought new pillar hood seals, pillar weather seals and intermediate hood seals from PNM parts. I was under the impression that these were no longer available, but they clearly are - admittedly at a price!

So, thank you Jamie, but I'm no longer in need of any hood or pillar seals.

Alas PNM don’t do them anymore - I’ve just spoken to them. They do the windscreen seals (@£75 each) but not the hood seals. They do have a supplier who actually manufactures them but they haven’t had any come through for a while. They expect some more sometime but don’t know when. I will be periodically dropping into their website to have a look. Anyone found any other sources (apart from Jamie’s)?

There is a set of the combined A pillar and Header seals on that auction site ATM gauging if there is much interest and worth the time and effort of doing many more, the time involved in doing just one set is enormous.

To answer your question Malc, yes these are the side seals that are above the door glass between the front header and falling pillar seals.

Hi all,
I think I've been messaging Jamie on Ebay about these, I hadn't seen these posts about new seal sets. Count me interested, although I don't have time to fit any new ones at the moment. For me, the worst place for leaks is the B-pillar.
Cheers :)

Well, there were at least 11 of us interested; congrats to the chap that outbid me in the last second :) . Did the gauge go high enough @Jamie?

Have to be worth that all day long, Easily going to add at least another grand in value to an otherwise lovely example that's sitting there with seals that look like a 12 bore has been blasting them at point blank range. :D .

Jamie.. please add me to the list. I am in need of seals for top to windshield and around windows both sides. Don;t get me wrong, I love my M100 car and I love a good pool.... but I do NOT love my carpool.

Thanks for your help. editor@thesoutherndriver.com

Hi Al - other than Jamie's solution, is the cost of the intermediate window seals (LH & RH) really over £50 each??.. has anyone found them anywhere cheaper? Or am I just being naive? cheers M
