~@&$£ mini gutter trim

Post by sjmtlewy »

Bought some mini gutter trim under the impression that it would fit the T25 gutters... just about goes onto the diagonal bits at the front, but definitely doesnt fit the long side gutters. Bit peeved. :x

Looking around in more detail, some people actually seem to be recommending mini wheel arch trim, not gutter. Any idea which it is supposed to be? wiki says gutter.

Well, the gutter is a large L shape and whilst the trim is a sort of P shape, its just not large enough to fit the angle.

Is the gutter on early vans different by any chance?

I used mini gutter trim on mine - no probs. - it only sits on the top edge - as the original did. To me it appears what you say is that you want trim that goes all the way round?

WHS ^^

I looked into it myself then realised that my gutter trim was C shaped whereas later gutters are L shaped

IF you want shiny silver gutters then paint them silver :wink:

Could someone perhaps add a comment onto the wiki page about the different gutters?
