Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Maintenance & Servicing A pillar seal upgrade

What a difference! I should have upgraded to these later pillar seals ages ago

They retain the screens beautifully, a massive improvement to the original sticky foam strips on earlier cars.



I’ve tried all sorts of tricks in the past to silence the tiresome din that my sprung loaded unrestrained screens make as they thump the pillars over bumpy road surfaces.
From strategically placed bits of neoprene to stuffing a duster in the door out desperation on a journey


New and original seals.

Yep they are good

Rog you are right!

I bought the new seals when the where first seen on new Morgans. Such an simple and cheap improvement!

I am very happy that my sidescreens fit with this seals!

I think they are in one line with some well known bump stops...

Thanks for link Rog. Not sure if the Williams supplied ones are same as OE on my 2018 Roadster but will order a pair as lip on drivers side one is splitting.

What…no foam/neoprene seals on the very top of the A-pillars? Have you driven it in the rain like that, with hood up?

Richard,
from memory the newer OE ones have metal reinforcing strips in them. But the ones shwon look like the ones on my last car & one Belle.

I wish you had told me sooner Bernt

Doug, we need a picture..

Not sure what Doug is referring to but this is picture of mine which look very similar to your new ones Rog.



It's the outer lip that has split at the bottom.

Not sure this will produce a picture or not. Thought I followed instructions to the letter! (Yeah..it worked)
Anyway, without that bit of neoprene I would get water running down the a pillars.

Incidentally, seals like this were at these points when I collected the car from new but I have had to replace a couple of times over the years. Strange others don’t have them…maybe mine were installed as an extra feature during pdi tests!?

Thanks Doug and well done with the pic
Job done but I only had some EPDM sheet.
