where to get Mk1 escort window rubbers.... that fit!

[Mk1rs1600]

Where is best place to get Front, Rear and rear quarter window seals for Mk1 escort that fit well?

Hi.
Google east Kent trim supplies
Got a whole set from them and the fit is lovely.

Mine came from East Kent Trim as well and the front/rear screen rubbers aren't great at all.

I've come to the conclusion that no-one makes good fitting modern replacement seals.

Thanks Guys, saw a rear seal someone had got from Burton yesterday and it did fit very well but they are a lot more expensive than east kent trim but think I'll go with them anyway.... although what's the bet they get them from east kent!
Out of interest, what sort of profile is the side window rubbers? are they the flatter shape (with a bit of a grouve I think)of late mk1 or rounder like the early cars?

mine aren't brilliant but your trying to replace a well made Ford item thats a design with brush gasket to one that comes off a roll stick a add up for a OE set.

I'm 99% sure they do

I have just bought mine from here:

Haven't got round to fitting yet, but having heard mixed reviews about east kent, thought id try them out. They are similarly priced to east kent, I can take some pictures of them if you would like to see profile.

The east Kent side window rubbers are the rounded type

Rear quarter windows we're talking about here? Mine are the rounded profile and fit reasonably well - there's one corner out of both rear quarter windows (passenger side) that has a bit of a crease, but it's not really bad.

I reckon you're right, there's probably only one or two people actually making them and everyone else probably just sells them on as their own!

Mine fitted perfectly from there, although they were for a Mk2.
