Needing new rubber seals for doors and windows on a Sud ti - no idea where to start looking. Any help appreciated.

In Melbourne, try Bill Thomson Auto rubbers in Bayswater, Rare Spares at various locations, Clark Rubber may be worth a look, they all never have quite the correct rubber, but something close, for a 40 year old car, also try Suds on line in England, but like anything from overseas, freight will be high, hope this helps, Colin.

I bought a couple of inner door seals for my GTV from Clark Rubber, and they do the job perfectly and cost almost nothing.

Scott's Old Rubber in Melbourne might have something.

I should have added you will need to do a bit of mix and matching at Clarks to find something that might be similar to the original seals in your car.

The inner door seals I had to replace are pretty simple without overly complicated channels or grooves, so I was able to find something roughly equivalent. Make sure you take a cross-section of the original with you wherever you go.
