Tailgate Weather Seal Xantia Estate.

[trafficcop1815]

I am a new member, and the owner, from new, of a much loved Xantia 2000 HDI Forte Estate. I have had the car from 2000, and she still runs very well. 146000 miles and still the original clutch.

I have however a problem in that the tailgate weather seal ( the rubber strip ), appears to have been chewed, and subsequently it is letting in water. I have tried my usual Citroen garages, but apparently Citroen no longer stock this item. Can anyone help please, or advise me as to where I can get the required seal or similar?

Thanks

Trafficcop. ( no doubt I'll get some ribbing)

Can anyone help please. I am trying to acquire a replacement rubber weather seal for my Xantia 2000 HDI estate, X reg.

Citroen don't appear to stock this anymore.

Can anyone help please?

I have also posted this in the new members forum.

Cheers

Hello and welcome to the forum.   Bad news that a rubber seal for the Xant isn't now stocked by Citroen dealers.   A quick look on ebay shows  several rear door seals for some Citroens but not one for a Xantia.   Maybe try an online  breaker for a half decent one..   Or see if you can make a match from products at

Hi,

Thanks John. I'm waiting to hear from a guy in London, Citroen Parts London, 0208 544 9998, who has helped me in the past with other bits, and  says he knows where there is a Xantia estate, that he is acquiring the door rubbers off for another customer, and hopes the tailgate seal will be okay on that one. I will also try deltarubb. Thanks for your input it is much appreciated.

I have moved this in to a subsection since ones outside do not show after a few days.
