Extreme difficulty finding a sunroof seal!

I am almost finished restoring my limited edition mini. The only thing holding me back seems to be the lack of a sunroof seal.

The sunroof is marked as a countess sunroof and the rough dimensions for the whole the sunroof sits in are 780 x 410mm and in the middle Ramon

Any help in locating a deal would be greatly appreciated

(Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place or already exists)

Is it a Unipart or dealer fitted sunroof ??

If so then it's common with LandRover Defenders and Freelanders of the same era, and seals, trims and handles are available from LR Spares suppliers like Rimmer Bros etc.

If you can't track it down via suggestions above, might be worth talking to http://www.phoenixtrim.co.uk - they have pretty much every trim & seal type available, and not just for minis, so may be able to find a match for you.

Try Somerford Mini. We've just fitted some to a few RSP limited editions and should be getting new ones in stock.
