As a word of warning, at some shows there is a stall selling rolls of mk1 sliding window rubber that is too thick and does not fit. It is sold in a roll large enough for both sides for £20. The people selling it don't seen to have a company name, but sell chromey bits, gear knobs and Pickup tonneau covers for £40. (the tonneau covers are brilliant must I add! :))

The rubber should, when looking along it, have a slightly thicker inner vertical support than the outer ones, the faulty rubber is of equal thickness on all 3 vertical parts and squashes the window too much so the windows are near impossible to move.

Pheonix supplies have the correct stuff, sold at £11.25 per side.

Watchdog maybe, but I was rather annoyed that so called mk1 rubber doesn't fit mk1 doors, waste of £20 and damaged the paintwork on my car's doors trying to fit it. :)

Dan >_<
