Does anyone have a decent seal/gasket for the tail-light unit for sale, please? It's the sponge rubber seal that goes between the light unit and the body to stop water getting into the boot. When I changed out the stoplight bulb on Mrs Kenzo's "53"-reg 206CC, the seal was gonzo. Peugeot tells me that I can only get a new seal if I buy a whole new light unit at £50 plus VAT. A seal for my old Corsa "C" costs £4...unfortunately there's a big difference between the Corsa and the 206 seals so I can't do the swap.
What does everyone else do when a new seal is needed? Has anyone fabricated a replacement from foam carpet underlay, or similar?
Any help very much appreciated.

Send a PM to Enright on here. He was breaking a 'CC. If you decide to make one, it has to be closed cell foam or you will make matters worse- So carpet underlay is out I would think
Cheers Col.

If Enright can't help, try emailing the people breaking 206s on fleabay ... I bet there are a lot just lying around.

Thank you Capncol and Gazza. Good suggestions there. I may try buying a sheet of closed-cell foam off ebay and cutting out a copy using what's left of the original as the template.
I'll let everyone know how it goes.
Thanks again.....
