Hi all, i have a 182 which im pretty sure has had a new screen before i got it, the rubbers around the screen have slash marks (cuts in to them) the near side being worse than off side - anybody know where to get these from dearler?. rac? et etc and are they easy to replace - Price also please??

Any help would be appreciated, as my car is mint it bugs me to look at them

Im sure other people have had the screen replaced - do they re use the rubbers, im guessing they do?

I bet they re-use them, but that's a guess.

Thats what i thought, shame mine have cuts in them, obviously someone didnt know what they were doing! ive been told they are easy to replace??

I don't know to be honest mate. Does sound like someone was a bit eager with their Stanley knife though. Hope you get it sorted.

I had my screen replaced and they never replaced the rubber trims, but they done a crap job and had to get them to re-do it as the trim came flying out when I was driving down the motorway!! They said they should really replace it as when you take it out it stretches so wont fit back in so well... but then he never replaced it..just replaced the screen :S

cheers Deb182, think mine must be the orginals hence the marks

Flying out while you were driveing i wouldnt have been very pleased with that

Any suggestions anyone???

One of mine has 'dissapeared'. Don't know if it's been nicked or come off or what. Wouldn't mind knowing the price/part numbers if anyone as them.

Im sure there all the same on the mk2's

Can you find out from the previous owner where they had this done, as there is usually a lifetime guarantee on windscreens?

Even if he did, i dont know what thats going to solve really - might be just be easier paying and getting them replaced if they are easy to do
