Title: Rubber.... for the side-windows?
Post by: Moes on July 02, 2008, 08:06:35 pm

Hi!
I need some knew rubber.... around the side windows in the doors (the ones the glass is sliding in), but I can't find a place to buy them, simon-auto does not seems to have them..  pleas let me know, if you know where to find them :)

Thanks Frederik Moes

I never saw them and up to now, I always reused the old ones. :-\
Several members of the Bagheera Café will hunt spares at HB Pièces on Saturday. I can ask them to look for that if you want.  µ
If they don't find them, you might find a similar profil at some rubber specialized shop.

My problem is that I would like to dismount them, because the car is going to be painted, but the old rubber is in such bad condition, that they properly will fall apart.

Thanks for your help Spyros, but I would like them to be knew. And if I can't find some similar knew ones, I will try to reuse the old ones, it is just going to be hard dismounting them without destroying them  :'(

It certainly looks like you are right! This might also be useful to owners of M****a's ;)

The last one...  It's a bit different than the original, but it looks like the sice is right :)

No..  I was wrong. I thought the glass was 5mm thick, but it is only 4mm, and there is some other differents, but the only real problem is the thickness for the glass, all the rubber...  from this website is made for 5 or 6mm glass  :'(

 :) I have had a breakthrough! I have been asking different firms, if they could get some rubber...., that could replace the old ones on a Bagheera. But so far I have not got a positive answer.  The reason I have not turned to simon-auto, was because I couldn’t find the rubber in there catalog, and I thought they did not have them. But today I mailed them just to be sure, and it turns out, that they actually got the rubber.... 24euro for each door :)  so I just made a big "thing" out of nothing, but I still hope this topic can help other! 

Keep the Matras running!  ;)
