Hello,
I just found on ebay a possible alternative. I ordered already 1 m for 12 € and will keep you informed if my 90 will be happy with this additional sealing. Very Happy

Famous Four have a nongenuine version if that's any help.

its a very unusual shape and i have searched on line for a long time and i have not seen a profile like it





the closest i coulf find is this

but the it costs £4 on e bay but postage from Europe is £20.......
there are a few on e bay with profiles that might work ...





Some folk on here have used d shaped rubber seal on the bonnet and i wonder if that may stop the ingress.....i personally wont pay 50 notes for 16inches of rubber Wink

On my 1988 90, I had placed a self gripping rubber profile around the edge of the bonnet. Over the years, dust used to go in between the rubber and the mudguard and wore the paint off the mudguard. But it was after quite a few years, and the whole thing needed painting anyway. 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing

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?

just a post 2012 bodge to stop water getting to the heater inlet and floormat on the passenger side.If i only had one i would put it at that side. LR Anoraks D rubber to the bonnet fix should solve the problem as well!

That might work ..might be a loose fit but you could silicone it in place ..it looks as though for a short piece you could bend it over in a vice to look a little like the original!Its very strange that LR look to have had a bespoke profile made rather than use something of the shelf?Im sure the exact profile is out there somewhere ion a FORD or dusty Rover shelf.

In the meantime, I got the seal and installed it. I did not use any Sikaflex or similar in the first step (I'll give it a try). In addition to the seal, I also took an old bicycle inner tube and glued a part of it from the gutter to the wing. Now the water is no longer running into the engine bay.
