Search the forum for windscreen rubber, there is a lot of information.
If your car is a later model it will have the trim insert in the rubber, lots of places sell this type and it appears it's all made in the same factory, so it's all down to price, do you need the trim, is the trim included, does the trim include the joining piece, how much for shipping etc.
If your car is an earlier model it will not have the chrome insert and this seal is not available.
Both seal types will fit.

Front screen rubbers are widely available, though they are the Baines made one which not everybody likes! For the rear screen, you can hunt for a NOS one or get a Triumph 2000 one in EPNS from Chris Witor and shorten it a bit, Chris does this in both types, ie, with, or without moulding. The profile is exactly the same as the Dolomite original.

EPNS? Electro-plate nickel silver? That's a bit bling, innit?

My mistake :oops: it's EPDM! Couldn't be bothered to look it up at the time!
