'Ulster' Spare Wheel Cover Edge Seal?

[Bill Sheehan]

It doesn't need a seal because the rolled edge on the body around the cover sticks up 10mm and the cover itself has the same but faces downwards. Never had any leaks into spare wheel well for last 25 years.

That's how mine is as well. Doesn't leak. Two internal aluminium clips stop it moving backwards.

Noticed many different ideas on sealing, but no-one seems to have answered the original question.  The answer is there was no sealing, it relied (as said above), entirely
on the good fit between cover and lipped skin.  Wear on the paint was very rare - but I can't speak for replicas which may well be not made as well as the originals.   Good Luck,   Cheers,   Bill in Oz
