Window Strips?

Post by Bazboy » 15 Jan 2009 10:31 pm

Hey All,

Ive been thinking, the chrome plastic stuff which goes around the windscreen and rear window they seem to brake and go nasty quite easy.
I cant remember but i dont think you can buy this stuff anymore, for volvos anyway, and ive resorted to spraying mine up, but before i started spraying i tried a few things, none of which worked, one of them being bathroom sealant cause it was black and bendable lol so i was just wondering what replacements were out there and if anyone else had any tricks up there sleeve for sorting these bits out?

Cheers Dan

Black as the hills of hell, and mint. I've got all the window seal strip dealies in the world right here man. Swap for a few tins of the faded burgundy you used on your car? :wink:

Not sure mate, gonna get stuck in to the blue one this weekend and I'm sure I'll discover something I need that I've forgotten. I'll try to remove the strips intact and get a better idea of the condition. Can deliver to meet, or if you're not there I'm sure Chris would ferry them if he has room in the car. :D

Yea its not looking like ill be able to make the feb meet, really annoyed about it, but really need to play these games. Is the meet still happening? If you can get the strips off and chris is cool about transporting them then that would be sweet.
