    Hi everyone ,
    I need new rear and side door seals for my 8 door '69 A108 , are the ones on ebay any good of is there a better supplier somewhere , it's going to cost a fair bit as it's an 8 door but the weather here is 'moist' and i don't want the floors to fall out !
    I'm also after a pair of rear pop out windows for the back doors if anyone has a pair ,
    Cheers
    Wayne

    Wayne,

    I was wondering the same thing myself.

    Also, are the seals stick on? I cant see any flanges or holes on mine where you would think there should be.

    Cheers,

    Hugh

    i have the ones from ebay, there good ones, the same as my front door seals from steel rubber products, you have to install them with adhesive, it took me one big tube to do all my doors,

    Steele - http://www.steelerubber.com/
    Karr - no site found
    Restoration Specialties - http://www.restorationspecialties.com/

    I'd suggest reading other people's reviews of each company, not only vans but other cars so you can make a wise choice. One has a not so great name out there.

    I have some '67 108 van glass.The side & back doors are gone but i think I have some glass in differant sizes I removed from the side of a parts van. What dims. am i looking for? I have a '68 p/u so i have no need for the Van glass.So they will go for short money,

    Thanks everyone, Like Dodge man said they are stick on , i guess evostick will do the job , whoever put the door seals on my van must have done it with a 4" brush ! the glue is everywhere and my van is in it's original paint with original seals - very messy ha ha, i think i'll order a pair for the back doors and see how good they are then get the rest if they are good ,
    The windows i'm after Gary are the opening ones for the side or back doors , they are the ones that are pretty square and should have two over centre catches , if these turn out to be rare i'll make up a set

    Hi Dragsterbus,

    Apparently DB Motors in Lutterworth are breaking an A100. They may have windows.

    Their number is 01858 880171.

    Thanks to Brian ( Propoganda ) for this info.

    I'm about to take the plunge and buy door and window seals. I've done a lot of searching and found that Restoration Specialties and Supply have the best prices. Looks like a lot of other retailers are selling their products. Has anyone used R S&S products? Does anyone have an opinion of their products and quality?
