nakatanenga front door seals
As per subject, has anybody used their front door seals ?

My front door seals have been replaced numerous times by LR but still leak especially the passenger side.
All the normal leak areas have been sealed as per leak guide plus a few more areas but still no luck.

The seals are expensive so I want to be sure they work before buying them.

Bob, I asked Peter about these a few months ago. He said they were going to get the tooling to make them and hence get the price a lot lower, might be worth asking him current status before you buy them

I have them - Yes, they work - much softer than the OEM ones, and the internal 'lip' helps to get rid of dust ingress.

Only downside - They can be a little 'squeaky'. On Peter's advice, I used a silicon spray on them, and this got rid of the 'squeaks'. I reapply it every few months, more often in hot/dry weather. Peter suggested talcum as an alternative.

But, they do work well.

What is the cost of these?

Are Tdci seals any different/better than Td5 ones?
