Door Rubber Fixing Screws

Post by rogerotto66s »

I have seen a reference to “door seal screws”.
I checked the Parnell book and he indicates this occurred in SEP 64 with body number 30863 - “door rubber fixing screws introduced”.

Below is the only other reference and picture I can find.
Are these the only screws or are there others?

Than you for the enlightenment, have had problems with the door seals and eventually reluctantly resorted to applying a small bead of contact adhesive to the very top edge of the lip around the lock area. Saw the screw holes but thought that this had been a "fix" by a previous owner and never realized that this was the correct method of attachment.

It was a common retro fit by dealers as once caught and pulled off, they often needed better securing.

Hi all,

is it possible to have a code or a reference for these fixing screws (Minispares)?.
