I did not realize there was a difference through the years, maybe drop them an e-mail to check they fit as at £310 for the pair you don't want to buy the wrong ones!

The older style used a closed seal where the seal at the door window edge was circular.
The newer style has a finger seal for the window. which is open on one side. Similar to the "A" pillar where it is a wiper edged seal.
The latest view of the 1984 and 1992 on the ETKA
shows the same part number for them
155847329F
155847330F
The 1981 has the same part numbers for the "B" Pillar seals as well.
Most of the bad seals I have seen are because the eccentrics were mal-adjusted and caused the Fame to cut the seal at the top, But I have seen the door edge chewed as well but that is far from the top being cut.
I know that they come up from time to time on ebay, but I usually watch the Breakers for bit's and pieces.
I would think that the "83" would work, but I don't know if they are the round over edge (circular) or finger seal type.
What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?
They all start with GOOD Grounds.

This is the newer finer or wiper version I have stuffed closed cell foam in it to "plump" it up
The older or earlier style is a rounded bead similar to the
boot seal or the hood frame to window seal… I can't describe it any other way sorry.

I'm currently working in the US for 6 months, will get my dad to have a look for me. Cheers mate!
If in the US have a look here, don't think they do B piller seals but sell other seals you may need?
