The part no. I am refering to is 630755, which is described as A-post upper seal.

Thanks Roger.
Not sure what the purpose of the seals are but will glue (?) them on anyway.

Sorry Marshman but yours are in the wrong place, if you look above them, you can see the original glue line, that's where they should be. Martin.

They fit to the underside of the gutter panel (813360/1 - the one rivetted to the A-post) and follow the line of the door seal. They are to allow the door window frame to seal against the A-pillar.

Use double-sided sticky tape. Less messy than glue.

Thanks Martin, as if I didn't have enough todo. I had another look at mine. They were fitted by a previous owner. Can't see any evidence of a different position on either side. As they are they look right and i don't get any leaks or wind noise (not from the front edge of the doors anyway). I'm leaving mine as they are because they look neat and seem to work.

And why not sir, if it ain't busted don't fix it ! The seal is held in place on the "A" post with black duct tape, yes, duct tape ! standard width fits, andit's concealed by the furflex,where it leaves the other seal and rolls round the frame, it's held by contact adhesive (brown stain) enjoy Martin.
