rubber strips on the roof??
« on: 07 December 2010, 20:20 »
How are these held on. One of ours at the rear is coming away and we have to hold it down when closing  the boot. Where can I buy something to sort this

If you mean the ones that fit in the gutter strip along the roof and car side "I think" they slide in...

Guess what they are NLA - I wanted a pair after I had my car re-sprayed they were mega dosh when new too...

They're held on with little plastic clips that fit into the metal recess in the bottom of the gutter.  Available on ebay, easy enough to fit, but be very careful you don't bend the gutter otherwise you'll be like the rest of us and end up trawling ebay for a local pair of them!  :cry:

I have seen aftermarket ones from the states they were $160. It took me ages to find them, so of course i didnt save it to my favourites.
