Second question of the night is this - why do I have to replace my trim as well if only the scraper rubber is RS? Surely someone has a trick or source of rubber only that can be re-rivetted onto my original ( and much better than repro ) surrounds?

Any thoughts?

Thanks Nils - I'm game to try anything before chucking out perfectly good window trim.

If the trim is Stainless keep it but if its the soft ally it will probably bend when trying to re rivet the rubbers onto it

defiantly worth keeping the staino trims

I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true
