Yeah bunglebonce gave me the link to 6mm stuff, but the above link is for 10mm, and as you say, looks the same 
im sure i read somewhere that VW do a version of the seal cord which is dimensionally smaller or thinner than the seat stuff and is cheaper. cant remember where i saw the part number on SCN though..
Does look the same!
dims of the Seat stuff are about 15mm x 10mm and 10m long split into 4 No. 2.5m lengths.

Cheers all.
Bought 2 of the ebay rolls and with delivery it came to £16.50.
Will let you know if I've shot myself in the foot when it arives!
Doubtless it will have 'many other uses around the home' though, if it's no good for the job in hand such as, erm, er, um...
Anyroad two more questions
1. Do you scrape all the foam sealer off first, before you apply the sticky rope stuff or do you just stick it on top?
2. Has anyone got the parts number for the plastic clip thingies that hold the door inner on (the ones that with every car I've had they snap the minute you try and take them off).
Cheers again folks

Yes, remove the old foam sealer first - water can seep through it otherwise.

These will fit the leon doors as the clips are standard across VAG cars right?
Cheers might order 2 packets then seeing as I'll want to do all four doors. Luckily they're not leaking at the moment. Dad had a brain wave for a short term solution and taped across the seal where the glass meets the door panels and it kept all the water out even though it bucketed down yesterday.
