I don't recognise your new seal. My new one was like your old one.

I must confess I thought it was wrong, if you lay it on its side then it's too shallow and would not be compressed.
Looked some online sellers and some look like this and others like the old one
The one on the left is a series seal. It’s what I used on mine when I done my rebuild. I went with that seal as it seems like it’s made from a softer material, and seems like it would hold the water back. It hasn’t leaked since I rebuilt it last April. I fitted the seal with the lip facing down, and curved towards the outside of the body panel. I used double sided tape to hold it onto the side panel while I fitted it. I really can’t complain about it at all, however, if I were to do it again, I would probably look at the YRM version of the seals.

Cheers Mick
I ordered mine a while ago and when they arrived put them in the garage without checking, I looked at several sellers and tried to compare the pictures it seems most likely I need the ones that end in 87.
Looked at YRM I have a lot of respect for their stuff and would expect to pay a bit more, but 76 quid seems a bit excessive.
Looking at something a little less, hope to crack on when the weather is better I'll try and put some pictures up.
To be honest, I wouldn’t know how much they cost from YRM, as they didn’t stock them when I done mine. It’s one of the newer products. Like I said though, I have them seals fitted, no leaks, and I’m happy with them.
