Thanks had a look & couldn't see anything. You have a link ? It's the rubber weather strip on top of door that stops the glass getting scraped & stop water entering door. |

You can get new non GTE rubbers but not GTE one's as they have a metal trim in them. _________________

They are similar in shape and even fit the same way only thing you have to do is trim to size as they come over length . I even got them to fit onto the old GTE clips inside the door . When you cant get genuine one these are next best thing .Here is a picture how mine fitted .

I'll take anything just now. As the cars needs tidying but the weather strips are really letting the car down ATM. I'am going to look for something similar & cut them if I have to. Only option. _________________ Cars

That's not the standard trim in that picture standard trim is U shaped and GTE trim is like a T profile I sent over a sample of the window rubbers from the GTE and they sent me back the same profile it fits around the trim on the door |
