I just bought some at minifest, they're a right pain. Think I'm going to have to cut the outer edge of the seal

Ah I'm not the only one then. They are such a nightmare to fit. We're going to take out the whole door rubbers and fit them in after it lol. That's the only way they are going to fit :/

I tried that last night, but it didn't work for me as the seal has been pushed in at some point in the past. It may work for you though

Mine were fitted in the same gap in the seal that the window glass does.

Hopefully, will let you all know

That didnt work for me, we couldnt get the window up as it got caught against the wind deflector.
& Even then we had to get the sticky tap to stick, and that would have been even worse lol

Yes pleaseeeee

Dont know if these will help however this is how they sit in the window/door

[Midas Mk1]

Ive been thinking about some, would be interesting to know how people get on with them

Dont know about Minis, but on my cousins St Focus they are just a push fit.
It's lucky Minis don't have remote central locking, whist he was fitting his inside the car, pushing the seal triggered the panic alarm, setting the deadlocks off in the doors, raising the windows, and disabling the whole car, only problem was he was still sat in it.....
