MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Door Draught Excluders

Hi everyone,

Having resprayed the entire car, it came to fitting the door seals/draught excluders. Got the clips to stay on the metal lip where the seal sits (which removed all my paint, skin and the last of my sanity)and fitted the door seal.
BUT STILL THE SEALS CAME OFF! Passengers knocking into them as they got out, God, or some unseen force is removing them straight away! Did I mention I even tried using heavy duty glue to stick them into place?!!

There must be a solution here - I've got good quality draught excluders and they SHOULD be easy to fit, right?!

Any ideas much appreciated!

Try Woolies item 266 - black only. They actually stay on.

Josh,

I bought the black velvety/plush/rubber seal type - rubbish would not stay on at all ! - changed back to the original rubber/pvc type and no problems - only colour was black.

Both were Moss supply.
