# Rubber Door Seals for 1967 Jaguar 420 Rear Doors
Overview
The 1967 Jaguar 420 rear door seals are a challenging sourcing problem due to the model's short production run and the rarity of specific seal components for this variant.
Identifying Your Seal Type
Before sourcing, determine which seal you need:
- Channel seals — rubber channels that run along the door frame (vertical and horizontal), where the glass runs
- Weatherstrip seals — perimeter seals that run around the door to seal it against the body
These are different parts with distinct sourcing challenges.
Sourcing Recommendations
Primary Suppliers
SNG Barratt — carspanner.com/go/sng-barratt
- Most comprehensive Jaguar specialist supplier
- Carries door seals for saloons of this era
- Availability on specific variants can be inconsistent
- Contact them directly with exact seal location for current stock status
Classic Jaguar — carspanner.com/go/classic-jaguar
- US-based but ships internationally
- Sometimes carries 420-specific stock not available elsewhere
Alternative Sourcing
If primary suppliers cannot fulfill your order:
- Quality reproduction from specialist rubber moulding house — requires sending a good sample or original part to copy
- Used seals from donor vehicles — source from breaking 420s or similar generation Jaguar saloons (3.8 or 4.2 litre S-Type may cross-fit depending on specific seal type)
Fitment & Condition Notes
The condition of your existing seals affects sourcing options:
- Perished seals — may allow for close approximation profiles
- Missing seals entirely — original profile may be more critical for proper fit and function
Confirm the exact seal condition and location before contacting suppliers to receive accurate availability information.
