simonpelly Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Hi Folks, In the process of changing the lock barrel on the rear door lock of my Defender 110 SW. Planning on replacing the lock seal on the refit as the original has become quite thin and tacky. The replacement door seal ordered (genuine OEM part - MXC9455) does not appear to be the correct size. The attached image shows that the holes for the retaining bolts do not match between lock body and seal. It can be stretched somewhat to fit. However, seems odd to have to do this. Thoughts? Simon...

GW8IZR Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 If you get stuck you can always make a gasket .. I found those door lock seals to be a bit thin anyway, the handle rubbed on the frame opening. I am sure they used to be cork at one time but that might be my memory playing tricks. I cut some out of some 2mm nylon sheet and punched the holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I used some 5mm self adhesive neoprene that I had. Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
