Hi Candiece
If you could supply a size and weight of a container, I could research USPS costs to Canada.
Thank you,
Mike
I used the medium flat rate box 13 â â x 11 â â x 11â or (11â x 8 ½â x 5 ½â and it was just under 2 lbs with one 4M seal. My zip is 73034
Hope that helps.
@Tommykat1 ,
The boot lid fit looks great. I installed my seal but havenât cut toff he extra length yet. Canât decide whether to cut it with side cutters, or tin snips. What did you use tout it and get a nice clean cut? id you glue the ends together?
Thanks,
Bill.

Bill, great question. I tried tin snips and scissors. No go! Crooked and mangled cuts! I bought a new pair of sidecutters and they worked perfectly. Note that you can attack this from four different positionsâup, down, top, bottomâonly one of which works cleanly. My suggestion is to practice a bunch with the extra length before committing to the final cut. Youâll get it, not rocket science, but one angle yields the straightest cut and with no nibs sticking out. Also, a sharp razor knife can be helpful to get the trailing rubber strip perfectly straight, if needed. Youâll see as you go.
I did not glue the ends.
Thank you, tommykat1.
Iâll use my new super sharp side cutters. thanks again.
Bill.

Gotta give a special âhats offâ one more time to Doug, @skiracer for turning us on to this uprated boot lid seal, and Candie, @c1nicole for pulling together the group purchase.
I hope this thread will find its way to Terryâs, Moss, Welsh and SNG Barratt so they can see once and for all that the âroundâ replacement seal they have been selling for 35 years is incorrect and causes âboot lid bulge.â (Note the original seal was more oval shaped.) I now have two of these castoff âroundâ seals relegated to a drawer in my shop. This new replacement fits the rain gutter properly and is a closer profile to the original seal than what these guys have been offering incorrectly for thirty five years!
And thank you to Jag-Lovers for hosting such an incredible community of Jag nuts where we can obsess together over our cars. Itâs a great place to hang.

Looks like the medium flat rate box to Canada is $58.50.
I will say Iâm out of the group buy.
Thanks,

Where in BC are you? If you are within easy driving distance of Vancouver BC or even the border, I make regular trips to Vancouver/Surrey from my Washington State home.
I could bring it over the border if sent to me, as for sure I will be in Vancouver on June 24-25 for my nieceâs wedding. I probably will be there before then, as I make up for lost time after the COVID border crossing.
Alternatively, I ordered 7m of weatherstrip and only need half of that at most. However, I would want to fit it to my own E-type first before parting with the surplus and Iâm not sure when Iâll get around to doing that.

Very revealing. It looks closer to our new seal than the POS the vendors have been forcing on us. Notice how it fills the rain gutter, which the âroundâ replacement seal doesnât do, but the new seal does.

I used cast scissors, something many of you probably do not have laying around.
Tried a few things before we settled with those. It cut the metal as well as the rubber smoothly.

Same issue we had, kept practicing on a scrap piece of the âwrong sealâ finally found that a pair of my cast scissors worked PERFECTLY. Just âsmooshedâ it flat and one smooth cut and it was straight.

I would be in for 4M.
I am in the middle of a move to HI but I suspect I will have an address by the time it is ready to ship.
Yes I am aware of the shipping cost to the Island.

Do not have the all in price for this order, but with the last order; each seal, all in cost was $30 ($29.74 exactly). This included seal and shipping from UK to me and then shipping me to you (In continental US).
Please advise length of seal you want.

Updated, if there is a length/item # next to the name, I have heard back confirming their intent in the next group buy.
If not still pending.
