Are the inserts for the window channels in an S1 something to get from Lotus or has anyone found a generic (read cheaper) part option?

Outers are used in some caravans. Craig Wallace may have a source.

Are you talking about the rubber seals along the door tops?

Not the edging strip, the channels the window actually runs in. Apparently the magic word is 'felt'.
Will check to see what the cost is from Lotus.

Ah I see! In that case I am of no use.... (was going to recommend elise-shop for the rubbers)
I am sure Louise will have some old felt dress she would not mind having shortened.

I just threw a door out with the channels intact. You can order it by the meter on eBay too.

Can't be that different to other car window channel rubbers.

I know that I had a new set from when I bought N3 from Cowan, but it looks as if they have been half hitched.
