2 unrelated questions - wheels and seals

ahh well...

I spent last night trauling uk and german ebays and i could only find second hand seals.

anywhere between $10-50$ each, plus postage i guess. But second hand is pointless.

My worst one is the pass rear, then pass front. I thought the hatch seal might be going too because I've had dust entering the luggage compartment - but I've since realised that this is because I have fitted a towbar, which means dust can enter the chassis rail where before it was blocked by the "rear bumper crash absorbers".

PS for anyone interested - not leaking water into the car, even in heavy rain. But I can HEAR that the seal is bad, at freeway speeds it sounds a bit like the window isnt all the way up (and they all are ).... and some dust comes in in heavy rain too. I guess that means water could possibly come in under some conditions, but it hasnt yet (not even washing the car).

have you pulled your tail lights off to check the foam seal isnt damaged
iv had a small water leak for a while now and also dust gets in
yesterday i pulled mine off to discover both sides were ripped
probably because iv had my rear end repaired, you can see where they tried to glue it back together

Thanks sparkie (your post looks like spam though, haha)

I often steer clear of Clark Rubebr as they are brutally expensive I have found.

However, I have yet to check my favorite shop, ovesco, who do a lot of automotive pinchweld seals. They might have it.

Apologies for that post I did not realise I had somehow picked up the entire front page of Clarke's website! I know they are expensive, but it looks like other options are limited. I tried to edit the post, but it all seemed too hard so I deleted the whole thing
