I'd like to thank Andrew at Minisport for their excellent boot seals, which actually FIT with the boot closed!!!
Their service was quick as usual.

I managed to close the boot on my own without phoning a friend (or football team).
Unlike the other two aftermarket seals I wasted money on recently... :roll:

Nah I couldn't be bothered for now, the clips I have don't fit and it's going for blueslip tomorrow.
I think the clips were invented before contact adhesive...

Nothing else is original on this `Matic'...

My 26 new clips are aftermarket and do NOT fit.

Mini King has some originals... :wink:

$50 but worth it. Doesn't matter how cheap rubber is, if it don't fit... :lol:

That's the first negative comment I have ever heard about Karcraft...and from the Doc :!:

Any chance of a cross section of the worthy boot rubber Doc? I've got one here, and if it doesn't match the cross section of yours, it won't be going in....(coming soon to an eBay ad near you: One new boot rubber...cheap)
