Hi, are you going to replace the rubber seals? Where will you find them new? ..

[@dieselbenzrevive6820]

Hi new seals are available original and aftermarket

[@danielx40]

​@@dieselbenzrevive6820 That's really lucky that they can still be bought. I have been looking for those rubber seals for vintage European cars. Do you know any good place to look?

[@dieselbenzrevive6820]

@@danielx40 check autohausAZ for aftermarket, or if its Mercedes you can get direct from classic mercedes center

@@dieselbenzrevive6820 That's really kind of you. It's a 1989 Rolls Royce Silver Spur with dried up seals. I might go check with the dealer but they are owned by BMW now. The older models are not very followed-up. Most parts are only available used on ebay. But those thin rubber seals have to be new and aftermarket. I'm thinking to use bathroom silicone seals for the thin trims, and used weather strips for the doors. Then windshield seals are tricky because of the chrome on it. Once the rubber get's "wavy" over time, so does the chrome. It seems the deformation of rubber seals really gives away the wear of a car even if the paint and upholstery is restored.
