Found this company who specialise in seals but I've no idea which one is suitable for our Puma door problem. Has anybody tried to solve this issue yet. https://www.sealsdirect.co.uk/

P-shape is the one I’m going to try.

Forgive me, I'm a bit confused as to the problem we are trying to fix. I've seen the photos in the "ST Line skirts" thread and I still can't figure it out. I take it you guys all have a large rubber seal running the entire length of the sill and around the rear wheel arch?

It's not around the wheel arch, it's around the doors, especially the bottom edge. If you've driven any miles in the recent dank damp road conditions your door edges and shuts will be very dirty.
Look at your bottom door edges and you will see where the problem is.

Do you have the sill mounted rubber seal which contacts the bottom of the doors when they are closed?

Yes, but it's not effective in keeping the dirt out....

Ok I understand now. I'm not sure I want to stick additional rubber seals onto the bottom of my doors. As mine is new I might just clean up the bottom of my doors and apply the same ceramic coating that I used on the rest of the paintwork. If I do this every 6 months it should hopefully protect the door bottoms from the elements.

I doubt it will stop the problem of the mass of dirt that gets in and it certainly won't stop the paint from flaking off.... :)
