Door waist seals - any interest?

[Foxy]

I'm looking in to getting door waist seals made up (S2/S3). These new ones will have stainless steel 'inners' so won't corrode like the standard ones (if you can find them!).

Does anyone have any old seals that we can use for evaluation and chopping apart?

A few mentioned them on this thread and it's also been mention a fair bit lately on Seloc.

I was looking at finding somebody to fabricate some. I'm sure if a fabricator can be found and a bulk order made, it'd be profit for the person willing to take time out to do the leg work, and hopefully a huge saving for those needing some. I certainly need some for mine.

Get a 500-1000 units made and get them priced for £100 a pair and they'd sell like hot cakes.

I'd even consider helping finance a bulk order as I'm pretty confident they'd sell.

Will watch this with interest.

I would be interested in the cost of stainless ones as mine are buldging a bit from corrosion inside.

what are the door waist seals ????

[MilesH]

I assume these are the ones on the top of the doors?

Are the S1 and S2 seals the same?

Different.

Waist seals are the rubber strips that run along the window glass.

I need some of these for mine.

Are the oem ones hideously expensive or something?

Yes. Stupid prices.. Also drivers side on back order now. It's a complete joke and someone astute enough can fill the gap in the market and make some good money/improve the product (stainless steel inner) and still likely save the customers a great deal of money if a large enough order is made. Honestly can see hundreds if not thousands of customers awaiting some at a reasonable rate. 

Just FYI it is currently about £240 a pair to purchase some.

That's because there aren't any. 

 

Honestly it's a massive hole in the market that's long over due being filled.
