Re: Rear Window extrusion problems New Zealand

Yes you are right on the button there Jaxx. I have removed all of the rubber extrusion and it does look like it was joined to the frame.There is also a length of thin wire glued in to the rubber along the top edge. It looks as though a new window is on the cards. I think I will go for a genuine part...

I meant to say, I have had the car since new and haven't needed to replace the hood as yet so I presume it is original.

Re: Rear Window extrusion problems New Zealand

Yes, not sure about the fabric trim. It would be nice to keep it looking almost original. I have found a possible extrusion that may look OK but have heard that gluing things on to the hood edge is messy and could spoil the hood. We will keep in touch with developments. Also have seen this add. http...

Have had the OEM mesh type for 16 years. Always leave it on, just zip the middle panel down when the hood is up (not very often) for better vision. Still looks very smart, does the job and I can reach both of the back lockers with ease. Cheers.
