I can certainly try, David. A poor sketch, and a medicocre photo may be the best I can do.

What does it cost to buy the parts from Bristol?

Given that it isn't very practical for you to take your car to Bristol, I'm sure they would sell you the parts and give you some advice on fitting.

It could save a lot of hassle and potentially buying another product that doesn't deliver the desired results.

Don't know if it's the same, but I had serious wind noise from the 411 when
I got it in 02. Bought the kit from Bristol - essentially new rubbers, and
they were a pig to fit and didn't make a great deal of difference.

Realising that this was caused by wind coming through, and this is solved
domestically by draught excluding strips, I found some old P cross section
adhesive strip in the garage. I put this round the windows to make a seal
with the door frame when closed and the improvement in noise was very
marked. That must have been about 5 years ago and is still OK. It's about
10mm wide by 6-7mm high at the curve of the P, don't know who made it as I
no longer have the box.

When this was raised before, some-one who had the work done stated that
due to the precise nature of the work, Bristol services only did the
installation themselves. I do use Bristol as a first port of call, it is
only if they cannot supply that I look elsewhere.

Bristol Cars' kit is not just new rubber - there is also a slim fillet of metal attached to the door aperture to which the new seals are fitted. It does look fiddly to fit, but certainly not impossible. They took about four hours to do my car, with one guy on each side at the same time I was told.

Any chance we can see a photo?

The trim from Bristol Patchway arrived today.

It is black and spongy, and rectangular in cross-section, approximately 24mm on the adhesive and opposite sides, and 10 mm in thickness.
