    silly poll, shiny down - it's covered so it doesn't soak up water from the road etc in the rain.

  4. Thankyou Seamus I'd be thinking you're a grand chap. :D
     
  5. You need Nigel. It's not not just shiny side down for water resistance. Get an old one and try burning it. The foam side melts straight away with heat applied. The shiny side doesn't. Likewise you could just try holding it close to an exhaust.

    Ask me how I know... ;)

    Shiny side down
    :D

  6. I fitted mine in replacement of the engine lid seal. The old rubber one was too rubbery. Seems to work well and the shiney/shiny side facing out leaves somewhere for me to wipe my fingers after eating cheesey/cheesy balls in the general vicinity of the rear of my camper.

    I take it you've never fitted the Westfalia "Post-Canape Degreasant pads" to your trouser legs?

  8. You're quite right
     
  9. They look more like large Scottish sanitary towels to me? Are they for sale?
     
  10. Does anyone sell a foam seal big enough for this gap? ;)
