Agree with Honeychrome. I posted here a few months ago on same subject. I contacted 3 of the large parts suppliers in Sweden and all had the same answer. They had no plans to produce these rubbers in the near future but they will monitor the situation. Retooling and the metal insert is the tricky part apparently. I'm sure it will happen eventually as there must be a stack of Amazon 2 doors still out there that are being restored and that rubber is not going to last for ever. The best thing we can all do is pester the parts suppliers and ask them to all get together to produce the seals. I got hold of some doner seals and rubbed glycerine into them - proably the best thing you can do for your rubber seals to keep them subtle.

Cheers
