Hi all, I have just de rusted and re painted the rain gutters on the roof of my Autohomes Komet but don't want to put back the moulded strips that fit over them due to rust particles and staining. Can anyone advise me as to where I can obtain them? Also the detachable rubber/metal trim on the bottom of the window opening on the front doors need replacement is there a source on the web anyone can recomend.
Hope you all had a good Easter, pity about the sun.
Cheers
Dave

Don't know about the gutter trim but the window 'scrapers' can be got from JustKampers I believe, if the outer ones are going hard you can swap the whole lot round as the inner ones on the left are the same as the outer ones on the right. Does that make sense?

Hiya,
Mini gutter trim fits the T25 gutters. You'll need to 2 lengths though. I got some nice silver mini gutter trim off some guy off ebay. Looks cool
I think JK might also sell the black stuff.

Before being robbed by JK source some excellent condition second hand ones at a fraction of the cost.

Have a word with CJ at www.syncrospares.co.uk.

Good as new scrapers for 1/4 the cost

I've been plagued with rusty gutters too, and considered (for a very short while) getting mine cut off and some better ones welded on.

Settled for rotary wirebrushing them all over, even inside using a Dremel wire wheel . Then a coat of POR-15 and a deeper rubber moulding to conceal the perforations! I got some 'attractive' embossed rubber U about 10mm deep, from Holden vintage & classic. Would have preferred smooth (like the VW moulding) but couldn't find it anywhere.
