This rubber edge trim fits onto a 1.5mm to 3mm thick panel and has a 11mm sponge sealing bulb. It is manufactured with a self-gripping metal spine that allows the section to hold itself onto the panel edge without the need for adhesive or mechanical fixings. Unlike standard rubber edge trims, this side seal can be used within the caravan and motorhome industry to seal habitation doors, lockers and some other enclosures. This sponge rubber sealing bulb is located on the side of the edge trim and compresses when squashed by a closing door or lid.
We manufacture this side seal from high-grade rubber compounds that are formulated to endure the challenges of road travel. These materials are exceptionally durable and resistant to environmental elements, such as UV and moisture, which guarantees their functional quality and aesthetic appeal.
As this product contains a self-gripping metal ribcage, it can be pushed over the panel edge without the need for adhesives or mechanical fixings. This allows the profile to hold itself in firmly in place even with the movement and vibration associated with travelling.
We recommend that you compress the sponge sealing bulb by approximately a third. This allows for sufficient compression to create a reliable watertight seal, but does not damage its structural integrity. Whilst it is possible to compress it almost flat, this can result in compression set where the sponge rubber does not recover to its original size. For example, if your sponge sealing bulb is 10mm in diameter, we recommend an approximate 3mm to 4mm compression.

Excellent product exactly as described
Quite small but the right size for my locker and quite fast postage.
Happy with this and a fair enough price point. Came in a fair time as well. Pushes on really easily but seems to be happily staying there.
