    Exclamation Are Saloon x Estate doors the same?

    Hello!

    I'm trying to buy the rubber door seals for my Galant saloon, and I found cb1000's thread where he is selling a full set from a Legnum (estate).

    So, does anyone know if:

    - The doors on a saloon and estate are the same (obviously, I know that the boot seal is completely different)

    - The rubber seals are the same on LHD and RHD cars?

    - If my logic is correct and the answers to the questions above are both "yes", then the seals will fit my car?

    Cheers!!!

    I know the bottom half of the door is the same but the top is different as the curve of the glass is diffferent. Logically, they will be the same for rhd & lhd but due to the galant & legnum being different, I don't know if the seal will be the same. I'm sure someone will be along soon to confirm...
    Possibly the only VR4 that was driven by the current owner before being registered..... & it's a UK car

    i would assume the fronts are the same, would imagine that you may be able to get back to fit if there close enough? so long as seal is long enough, although if the bends dont straiten properly that may cause issues

    Front doors/seals are the same. Rears are not
