XK8 2003 A post Finisher Strips

[Scotty2]

Been searching for a source of replacement A post strips as mine are exploding due to the alloy corroding. It seems a common problem but I have not identified the part yet. Any help?

Its the black alloy and rubber strip, sort of part of the windscreen surround on the A pillar.

Is this what you're looking for?

(There's also a LH one, too..).

I had mine rubbed down and repainted - much cheaper..

No. It's the short trim piece on the A post exterior which is 50 cm long and appears to be the drain channel on the"A" post.
