I thought I had a picture of this but can't find it - apparently there is a small rubber seal that is glued to the door, I think near where it meets the scuttle. Piece is maybe 6" or less in length. Anyone have a picture?
 
Actually, I think the seal you are referring to is the upper seal that is clipped to the scuttle. No seals are glued to the door. The bottom seal is also held on by clips. BTW, there is also a "seal" is referred to a a draught excluder and is a fuzzy seal that should match the interior. That goes down the A-pillar In this pic from Moss, item #40 is the upper seal, held on by clips #41. Item #42 would be the fuzzy seal. The is a good pic in the Bentley manual, unfortunately, my pdf version won't allow me to copy the pic.

There is also a PDF at https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B2H2NJt34OffYWZiN2VlZGMtNTkxMi00NGUzLWE4NzMtMGRkODRkYzU3MDU1 that will allow you to copy photos & text.
 
Here's a pdf copy of the Bentley Manual (courtesy of Randall-TR3driver). The pic in question in on page 347, which is page 353 of the pdf.


Edit:
Oops, Randall beat me to it. Well, if you don't have the manual, you can now download it. :cheers:
 
Hmm, this may be tougher a quest than I thought, or maybe I'm chasing something fictional. The part number I am refering to is:

650045 T3 PIECE,DOOR TOP EDGE FILLER

It is a very short piece, and is definitely not clipped in place although I'm thinking the profile of the piece is basically the same as what is clipped to the scuttle. It was recently offered by TRF, though I can't find the writeup for it anymore. I believe it is glued down in the upper front portion of the door.

I don't normally buy just anything on sale from TRF (well maybe I do!), but I thought I remembered a small glued down seal on some old doors I had at one time in storage. My guess is they would be for later post 60K cars but I can't be certain.

Does that ring a bell for anyone?
 
I looked in the TR2/3 parts catalogue and it shows 650045 as a "Filler Piece, Door Top Edge" and it's only on the post 60k cars. There's no pic of it in the catalogue.
