interesting....

Any suggestions where to get them from?  One has come off, so needs to be replaced to keep it water tight.

>Looks rather clean for a car over 12 years old!
:smiley:  Trim was removed for clay, polish and wax.  Also a previous owner has had it re-sprayed.

Sorry what i meant is, if the fabric was standard on the cars it looks very clean for it's age!

If it's had a respray before then you can be pretty certain it was put on by the previous owner.

Definitely NOT standard. And no need for them.

there is a hole in the panel behind the sticky thing.  It looks to be a manufactured hole rather than damage.

You only ever need two tools in life. If it moves and it shouldn't use Duct Tape. If it does not move and it should, use WD40.

Yes but they are open from the factory, for some reason.

That sticker will not stop the water anyway over time it will peel

how very odd.  surely rain water will run down the door, into the door then out of the door drain?

Maybe they did it like that so water will stay stuck behind the moulding.
