I have bought a full rubber kit for my LH but someone mentioned to me that you can buy some type of spray stuff that you put on the door rubbers to make them easier to fit? Makes the rubber a bit softer and makes closing the door better??? Ive never heard of it?? Any thoughts?

Finally got the car back from the painter and have been playing...
I got to fitting the door and boot rubbers which I bought from Bette Auto Rubbers and WOW!! they were perfect!! So easy to install and happy with the fit. No slaming the doors but a nice tight close. All the clips lined up and all I needed to do was trim the join and glue together..
They are a BIG thumbs up from me!!!

The rubbers I bought from The Rubber Shop needed no trimming or gluing.....! They were a perfect fit.

Even better...
The door rubbers came as an open strip.. I just had to trim where they join and glue them together.. They recommended super glue so thats what I used.... all sweet!!!
Maybe the LH/X are diff as they are one joined run?
The boot was one piece though...
