Unfortunately Lotus are no longer stocking the S1 Exige roof seal, so I’m now having to resort to making my own for the Elige conversion!!
To ensure I get as close as I can to the original seal shape, I was hoping that someone would have (or maybe even take for me) some pictures of the seal when the roof is off?.
I know it’s not usual for the Exige roof to be off, so any guidance will be very gratefully accepted.
Regards to the purchasing the seal, I was going to try either of these suppliers:
I actually have a brand new seal that i bought a few years ago, but never fitted. I don’t want to sell it, but I don’t mind lending it to you so you have a template.
Its actually quite a complicated looking thing with a couple of different profiles to the seal where it goes along the top of the screen and the door bits.
Hi Sean, many thanks for the info and yeah I did hear that there were differing profiles. I would be very grateful if I could borrow your seal and maybe we could arrange for it to be sent at the same time as the Rear Wing Subframe Mounts, which I need to purchase from you / John.
If that’s an issue, then I’ll be more than glad to arrange a courier to collect it from you, at your convenience.
I had a nightmare of a job trying to get a genuine roof seal to fit my roof when I did the conversion, so I think it might be tricky to make something similar out of bits from woolies. The real roofseal uses christmas tree shaped spikey bits to attach. I would try and get some window seals down the sides and seal it any way you can flush at the front.
I got my genuine roof seal from chris after a wanted post on here.
