1500FWD doorseals are all the same as Dolomite. I prefer to use good used OE ones where I can, they tend to fit better. But if not there are more than 1 supplier of new ones, furflex too, though it's flippin pricey, about £100 to do a single car!

For what it's worth I am fitting Furzeflex and it's a pig! I have made a jig from U channel and use a very thin metal cutting disc on an air tool to cut the trim at 45Deg. for the joints and tight curves. because the trim will not turn through 90. Seems that it is best to take it a little bit at the tim when tapping the trim in place as it is easy to damage. I propose to use a hard setting black sealant to mask the joints.
Is there not a rubber substitute? or Orig spec trim?
Note- take care if you redo any upholstery, The returns can make life very difficult if there is too much bulk especially door aperture trim and Dash ( I have removed the Dash to get the trim into place !). Same goes for carpet/ underfelt / sound deadening material margins.
