    Also do the rubber seals need changing when reinstalling rocker covers?

    No they are reusable too, just give them a look to make sure they are in good nick. They can develop flat spots over time and obviously won't seal properly, in which case replace them.

    if they are hard they are stuffed so then replace them remembering they only go on one way.

    While they are re-usable,if they are the originals i'd replace them while they were off considering they'd be over 6 years old.
