Rover 200 R3 Front Seat Belt Rubber Grommet

20260415_185329.jpg Hi all. I need the rubber grommet (x2) for the front seat anchor point on my 218iS. The remains of mine is highlighted by the blue arrow.

Re: Rover 200 R3 Aerial Water Leak

Thanks Chris. I've come to the conclusion that the nut is loose. To get at it, I would have to remove the A/B/Post liners to gain access, and I can't face doing that.

Re: Rover 200 R3 Aerial Water Leak

Thanks. It's looks as though I'm going to have to try that without removing the headlining........hopefully!

Rover 200 R3 Aerial Water Leak

Hi all. Has anyone experienced a water leak through the roof mounted aerial on a R3 Bubble? The long running saga of putting my 218iS back together after bodywork repairs at the the excellent Pershore Bodyshop, has stalled again........a year and counting. 😭 I did smear some vaseline around the seal...
