Might be a daft question, but do these need fitting to both sides? Given it’s a genuine part, why on earth don’t they come with them? Also, any cheaper alternatives?

I believe they're on vehicles 2012 onwards. I've not seen any non-genuine versions on the market LR Workshop

Thanks Will. Mine is a 2013 and has nine, so perhaps fell off. £25 for 6” of seal seams outrageous! Perhaps that just the Yorkshireman in me!

I thought I had found a suitable shaped seal on eBay but in the end I bought a genuine one (whilst gritting my teeth). Rgds. Chris |

I brought a seal off eBay that was a similar shape enough to do 4 seals for £4.99 but I can’t find the seller now sorry

I bought one of those recently and the best price was from site sponsor, Advanced Factors. However, I've just checked their website and the price is now the same as from LR

This might be worth a try? https://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/product/1285/door-seal

I finally bit the bullet, ordered the genuine ones, LR038612. LR Switzerland wanted CHF 60.- (£ 57.-) EACH! jaguarlandroverclassic.com sells them for less than half of that, still insane for what it is but here’s hoping it contributes keeping the footwell dry….ok, less wet, got it.
Any tipps regarding maintenance and mounting of these precious things? Thanks  |

I’m struggling to visualise these elusive things despite the parts picture - has anyone for a ‘real’ photo of them in situ?

I'd be tempted to stick the seals on with something like Sikaflex, as they're a friction fit and sometimes have a habit of falling off. For Screbble, this is the picture linked to above:  Click image to enlarge Darren 110 USW BUILD THREAD - EXPEDITION TRAILER - 200tdi 90 BUILD THREAD - SANKEY TRAILER - IG@landroveranorak "You came in that thing?
