You might want to check out Martin MacGregor
(http://www.macgregorukcarparts.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=Triumph)
(or http://tinyurl.com/5s5yndw) for the various seals. His Bristleflex ones
are excellent and he makes/carries all sorts of for doors, tops, hoods etc.
Maybe he has what you want.

Subject: Re: [TR] TR4A - Door Seals Too Thick
I did mine (TR4) about 11 years ago now. I ended up buying door and
trunk seals from TRF and Moss. In the end, the trunk seal from one
vendor fit and the door seal from the other fit. Each other seal was
too thick. Trimming and slicing doesn't work. Unfortunately ($) I
would recommend buying from one of the other vendors. There's also
MacGregor's in Canada but they may only do MGs.
