Hi folks. Just wondering if anyone knows where I might get a replacement rubber seal for the access panel at the back of the headlight. Mine is completely worn out and leaking.
Thanks
Thanks

Hi MichaelT
You could try a Citroen dealership, I think that's about the only source that will sell you just the seal, I'm not even sure they do.
Alternatively, why not have a look for a complete second hand cover, either scrapyard or online auction site? Just check with the seller that the seal is good.

If at first you don't succeed, destroy all the evidence and pretend you never tried

I have not seen the seal for sale on its own, but you can get the cover, as Missing Lincs suggests from this link to eBay (click here).
You may end up having to make a seal from some Foam or EPDM weather seal (here, from eBay). maybe a bit of 'D' profile EPDM?

Thanks folks. I'll have a look at the D seals and let you know how I get on. I think my bigger issue is the wheel arch liner is badly cracked and that's letting mud and water up onto the headlight cover and compounding the issue. I'll look into getting that replaced as well.
Dose anyone know if there is something that should run under the front bumper and connect to the wheeled arch liners. It's a bit flimsy where it all comes together on mine.
