I've not got a decent photo, I'll post one tomorrow I think I've a piece of one piece seal still attached to the tub or side panel.

I'v just had a search for tube rivet tools and found this place.

Not to far from home and not to pricey. Would work well in a G cramp type tool, should be able to squeeze in a controlled manner.

If they seal leave alone, if they leak try duct tape or butyl putty or a combination of both before replacing.

Door seals interference fit, kinked where the inner filler piece is in the wrong place.

They also needed trimming for the door latch, not I would expect a problem on anti burst doors.

Cheers...

Managed to get most of them done with the Series seals, at least the rear SW tops had the holes in the right place... I took Calums advice and drilled some more holes as required, it isn't noticeable.  Of course I now can't shut the **** passenger door, this is because it was spot on, farmed out some work (due to over committing myself to projects) and it wasn't re-hung quite right.
