HI everyone, I've recently aquired a 72 vixen 2500 that is in need of a full restoration. I've tracked down most everything I need so far, but have hit a brick wall looking for the front and rear glass seals. Luckily my glass is good, ive read those are quite difficult if not impossiboe to find, but the rubber holding them in, is far from usable.. if anyone has a suggestion or knows of a place I should look for them, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks all!!
Chris

Best bet it to as Adrian Venn at Exactly TVR. I'm pretty sure he has them.

Definitely go to one of the TVR parts suppliers. I used Adrian .................. extremely helpful.
I initially bought the window rubbers from one of the classic car parts suppliers and although when held end to end with what Adrian eventually supplied they looked identical, the very smallest of difference in profile made a massive difference between getting the glass in and not! It took me a windscreen to realise that there is a difference!

There are at least two different profiles for the window seals out there.
Dominion sells the one that fits properly. The other doesn't lay flat on the body all the time.
