hi is there a profile chart of all the door and boot rubbers as i have to replace all of them as they are totally perished windscreen and rear window sorted
thanks for any replies
Early Somersets just has quarter round seals glued into position. Later ones had a channel spot welded round the doors for the “foot” of a seal to slide in to. I used the quarter round stuff that is available for Morris Minor Traveller rear doors available from various MM specialists. For example https://www.sealsdirect.co.uk/shop/srs1913-21466?gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI2-_Uv_XkhgMV_5RQBh2RIQ5SEAQYAyABEgIP6vD_BwE
As for the channel fitting type then COH Baines who have an online profile list.
My doors actually had the metal channels but they were very rusty and non existant in some parts (a real rust trap), so I removed they all with a sharp cold chisel and reverted to the quarter round type after rustproofing the door.
I got those from Australia. Not cheap and you have to actually have to carve them a bit yourself. You just need to be carefull and take your time and you can achieve a good result.
They seem to have gone up a bit since I got mine, but I never found another source!!

Have you actually taken the quarter lights out yet? I wrestled mine out and back in a few years ago. It’s a horrible job!
