Hi folks, I appreciate that I'm probably p...ing in the wind here but does anyone any idea where I might be able to locate an old stock rubber tailgate seal (the wide one that attaches to the bottom of the upper TG & seals against the lower TG when both are closed. The part # appears to be MXC8422 (though I have seen # 390345) but despite trawling through many LR parts outlets on-line the item seems to be unobtainable / discontinued. I've had repairs done to the bottom of my top TG & although the metal strip holding the aforementioned seal is toast due to corrosion the framework has proved totally repairable & the plan is to bond a new seal onto it. I still have the original rubber but although in one piece it is misshapen due to age.
 
It was unattainable when i had my classics many years ago, so i might be worth rebonding/reusing the original

I'm reluctant to do that just yet in case a miracle happens, in which I'd have to 'un-bond' the thing again. I can't understand the philosophy of replacement parts manuf ... you can get doors seals & even the long item that goes around the rear shell, but not the one I'm after :mad::mad:
