Hi, I'm looking for four rubber weather strips for my 86 Volvo 340. These are about one foot long and fit between the door windows and the door (on the outside). They prevent rain from running down the outside of the window and into the door. I'd like to get new ones if possible as the old ones have petrified from the sun. (This volvo is in Alicante, Spain, where the rust is kept at bay.) Any assistance gratefully received.

By the way has anyone tried tuning modules on the 340. I have seen them on ebay for a fiver and they promise to improve Brake Horse Power by up to 20. Is this possible?

Volvo still do those strips, just for the 3 door, so you have to cut them down.

As to the ebay box of tricks, its a resistor, that goes over the lambda sensor to try and trick the ECU into chucking more fuel in. Not only do 99% of 300's not have a lambda sensor (even though the ebay man likes to think they do), the power doesn't get boosted in most applications, and if it ever does, it's not noticable! Sorry to disapoint dude.
