Island 4×4 have genuine LR part for about £72, but it's still a lot of lolly for a bit of rubber. Can you match the profile with a seal supplier like Woolies Trim?

What a site, never knew so many profiles existed!

One or two look promising, and £4 odd a metre is much more appealing.

Anyone got any idea why mine is so short though? It's otherwise in good nick!

Update: have bought 1.7m of generic windscreen trim from FleaBay for the massive price of £7. Will see if it fits!

Update is needed when done!

Have you had the plastic plenum covers off underneath the wipers and checked the plenum and the seal around the heater intake.

Looking at mine, even if water gets in there it shouldn’t leak in to the car, some water will always end up down there when it rains as well

Late update, my apologies.

The replacement rubber strip did the job - dry as a bone now.

I assume my pre face-lift didn't receive the updated air plenum protector to divert weather, and paired with the perished seal strip was letting rain in. Now sorted!

Further to this, rain appears to be finding its way in again - the carpet is now damp after each rain again! This time it doesn't appear to be dripping from the bottom of the blower unit so I'm stumped! Had my sunroof drains sorted when I had a new headlining and sunroof seal fitted in 2023.

What a coincidence. I just went out to check my D2 and there is water on the passenger mat - dripping from the bottom of the blower and the wiring although if I grope around higher up there seems to be a vertical piece of black trim with foam on the back and that foam is wet.

Is there an emojii for 'Big Sigh'?
