Not all UK rubbers fit all Oz cars, I once found their Mk1 door seals didn't seal my windup Oz doors (after they took 10 WEEKS to get here) so had to buy local. :lol:
No it wasn't Minispares, it was that other one, Mini*****... :x

I employ the 'face away from the car, put my ass on the boot for leverage and turn the handle' procedure for closing my boot (and yes i am careful about not dinting it)

Doesn't your boot leak a lot? Boot are a lot harder to dent than doors, so you should be right with that method, :lol:

They glued the new seals on so well before I got her that I don't think they'll ever come off!
