BX weatherstrip

I damaged one of the rear door window seals (the one that sits at the bottom of the sliding glass) while repainting the window surrounds on my terribly spoilt BX. My local dealer had one in stock. He still does at £61+vat!

What a shocker! I wonder how many years he's had that sitting in the bin. If he ever manages to sell it, it's been quite an investment for him. Any chance of collecting one at a breakers?

Tom,
In the depths of my back shed I have 2 BX back doors (complete) They are off a 1984 (!) french BX that I scrapped. You are welcome to them if you can't get one from a scrappy. I can't vouch for the condition since tey are buried under a bonnet and rear hatch (in case mine rust!!??). If you are interested reply here with an e-mail address or phone number and I will check them out (they may have perished!) I will only charge £30 ! sorry, I mean 30p for postage - oh sod it, I can't be bothered!! - for nowt!! If you live nearby you can collect the whole door. I live near Loughborough
Phil

Just realised you live in Soton but I can easily post if you want the seal rather than the door!

Thank you for your kind offer, Phil. Fortunately I found a cheap scrappy and emerged with weatherstrip, sidelight holders, bonnet buffer, numerous trim screws and the tailgate lightswitch for £2! so that's another £1,000,000 off Citroen's profits this year!

You was done mate!! That's nearly 7 times what I would have charged - is money no object to you????!!
Happy BXing!

Tom - is that the scrappy you told me about when we met? I will certainly patronise that one when back in Hampshire if it is...
It's not quite as cheap but anyone in South-West Wales would be well advised to try Gillards scrapyard near Neath Abbey for very cheap BX bits, on my personal experience. I got a GTi instrument panel and assorted trim parts recently for a tenner...
