Welcome. Any Morris Minor stockist will be able supply you with a full window rubber set.

Try ESM, Bull Motif, Charles Ware and Tom Roy to name a few. They are do a mail order service.Google them for their addresses you may live near one which would save on postage.

When you join the club, you will get an excellent magazine in which all the relevant traders advertise. Many have special offers from time to time on various parts. There is plenty of choice of retailer, but many of the parts come from the same source, and no one retailer is always the best value for everything. Most people on here have their favourites.

Agree entirely with the above.

I find the ESM website very nice to use for parts and have had excellent service from them. But I also use the other suppliers mentioned too, and more besides.

You have a choice of window rubbers for the outer seal. I used the original type on my Series II and the rubber type on the Traveller. Both fit and work perfectly well.

You also have a choice for the door seals, I put the original cloth type on the Series II and Traveller, and the "new" rubber type on at least two other cars. The new rubber is much easier to fit and seal and I would only go with the cloth if originality is very important.
