If you are after the Griff/Chim/Tamora targa top edge to top of window seal then they sell it at the new TVR Parts.

£4.46/metre. I used it to change the one on my Tamora. Works a treat.

I don't think anyone has any stocks of that discontinued profile any more.
I got some of the last remaining from D & C Trim a couple of years ago for my S.
If you turn your pic upside down, you'll see why RayTVR on the S Series forum has christened it the "Fat girl with pigtails riding a bicycle" trim.

Search "S Series Targa Seals" on here.

Let us all know if you do manage to find some.

Could be this one - but no pic to compare it with.
Breakers could be an option but they'd probably want to sell you the whole roof.

Try Seals Direct in New Milton. The owner had a TVR and knows all of the seals. He has them all in stock.

That's the right part number, interesting to see if they have any?

That profile is also used on the S Series and has long been thought to be unobtanium!

Thanks for replies smile I managed to salvage the old trim but on my finding wondered why they had glued some 8mm spacing onto it for as when I stuck it to the roof (yes BB they were glued to the roof) now I have a gap !! but I think the windows are up as far as they can possibly go ?

I will have to make a 8mm spacer and start over again furious
