mikew Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 So who paid £180 for the nos tailgate seal?Was it you Alan, or are you still saving to fill up the Range Rover fuel tank?Nearly as crazy a price as the TR5 wheeltrimsmike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy thompson Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I honestly can't remember what I paid but it was more than 30 and a lot less than 180 - remember thinking - just glad I've got one - I had to import a tailgate too!!! Mine was full of rot and looked like this - big fog light holes. Got wedgewood one off a Mk1 that was even the right colour :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanChatterton Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Nope, wasn't me either. Ridiculous price to pay for a piece of rubber trim.................!I would have paid up to about £100, and I offered that to Lee, but it went on ebay for the highest bidder.I can't imagine who would pay such a stupid amount for one.Me, I'll be cobbling something together out of 3 old tatty ones and a MKI boot seal!

TedTaylor Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I reflect the view of Andy, Mike and Alan. Like Alan my tops was £100 and finding that would not be enough went out and looked at my own seals - and found I could cobble something half decent together.The windscreens thing is nearly sorted - unheated within the next 2 to 4 weeks and heated about 8 weeks - and am about to send out an update to everyone who placed orders. When that is out of the way, and bearing in mind that I could do with a seal like Alan (who is an independent Windscreens Fund 'committee member' with Steph and myself), perhaps I should look into then logistics of getting these re-manufactured if there is enough interest. After all it won't be £180 and I would only be interested if it was below the £100 mark with a target £50.Anyone interested?Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willows40 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 tedif you can come up with a tailgate seal at reasonable price, count me in.Would of had a windscreen but funds are tight at moment.cheers andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAJ Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I would be interested if you could getthem for that sort of money Ted, I used CW recommended mk1 bootlid seal. Not long enough to do the bottom run on the tailgate but it doesn't leak at the top like the flattened original!Colin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanChatterton Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Ted,I have looked at having them reproduced. Lee lent me the said tailgate seal to see if it could be copied. Took it to a couple of specialists, and the answer is, no profile exists that is anywhere near close enough to remake even a half hearted copy.Needs total new tooling, cost cica £5k.Dead in the water mate.Makes the £180 seem almost reasonable............ ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the first time or last that he had been overtaken by a flying rostyle, apparently they don't bounce well when they land either!Colin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Englishbull Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Well of course I know who as won the seal but it is not my position to divuldge such information.As mentioned I did ask all those I knew with estates before listing it on ebay for a fair auction!!!!!!!!!!!!.I suppose in fairness a price for anything is as much as somebody is willing to pay if they so desperately need the item..........especially if the said item is no longer available and cannot be reproduced.............. :-/As Alan also say's ,I did lend him the seal to see if he could get them re produced to help everybody out.....................but no joy :'(PS.....................I do have a few NOS MK1 boot seals too lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

estately Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I could be keen for one too, for the 50 quid end of the price scale, preferably. Works out as rather a lot when converted to the New Zealand dollar.Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
