HI peeps after a good 12 years of attaching my awning to the van via a figure of 8 strip to my vans gutter rail the black strip has split and come away. The figure of 8 rail won't stay on without the black strip. Can any one tell me where i can purchase a new strip please. Have looked on a lot of sites without any luck. I know JK do a section in silver but i need the whole section in black.
Many thanks
Dave/Hammy

Thanks Cruz have had a gander it looks ok just wonder whether it has the mastic built in or do you put that on yourself to keep the strip in place?

Example using mini wheel arch trim (I used the chrome rather than black). Any mastic will stick it really. Also fits the A pillar uprights too.

Good point - my '90 SA was freshened up by the late Wagenwerks of Brum some years ago but never got the gutter trims refitted - would like some black ones to fit, but not urgent as respray may be in the offing...

Thanks again guys i e-mailed mailed one of the suppliers on ebay bout the mini trim. I'm pretty sure it will fit but i wasn't sure if it came with mastic in. It doesn't so take it you apply your own? i'd use grip fill if it stops the awning rail coming off again in a force 10. x
