Rubbers!

[Dave]

Hi to all,

I've got an R19 16v hatch that looks great (and standard ) apart from those bloody crap side window rubbers and leaky sunroof rubber! Call me vain but i also have a K reg 16v Chammy that i took off the road because every time it rained i ended up driving the four wheeled version of my shower!, and when you looked down the sleak retro lines of the side doors is was ruined by the knackered jagged bits of aluimised rubber sticking out!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway less jibbering and on with the point-Where can i get new rubbers for side windows and sunroof?? PLEASE, PLEASE HELP.

oooooooo, window rubbers, not cheap....... we had an article on this earlier this year, was gonna do a group buy, not heard anything since! definately not cheap

from renault, just as soon as you win the lottery

These are seriously expensive, your best bet would be to find a car being scrapped with better rubbers and have 'em (like I did this afternoon, cheers bbracer! )

someone on another forum had a plan to get them half price from abroad in quantities of 50+ (so a group buy) but they were still stupidly expensive even at half price.

[Dave]

So how much is expensive? Roughly?

[bidderman1969]

cant rember how much it worked out at tho?

hang on, i'll see if i can get dialogys working...

EDIT: Can't find them listed as a seperate item, only the complete door.
EDIT2: Oh, they're listed under 'Uphostery'...

[Dave]

So i take it i'm not alone in the endless search for perfect rubber then!

[bidderman1969]

The thread on the old archive is at:

3 door Part numbers:

7700-789-578 - £50.03
7700-789-579 - £50.03

So that's £50 per window, not as bad as i had remembered actually


EDIT:
