Title: Chrome window trim?
Post by: sesterfield on 19 June 2004, 22:47

I was out today and I noticed a mk2 going the other way with chrome trim around the window seals, and I wondered if this was custom or did VAG ever make chrome window trim?  (and more importantly, if so is it hard get hold of  :D)

thanks

there's a 5 door golf with later doors with this trim in my local scrappy. if this is any good to any one i'll have a better look and try and get it. i think the wing mirror mounting plate needs to come off as well.

the chrome is an integral part of the rubbers, you need both for it to fit properly

are the small bumpers with chrome trim equally as hard to find?  I've gone off big bumpers but normal small bumpers seem a little bare  ;D

awesome  :D, never realised you could buy them new

anyway I just realised that the chrome window trim probably wouldn't fit my car, since I have a late Mk2 with the different mirror placement, and I'd assume that the window seals would be different?
