Hi Guys

If your existing rubber seals are in good shape then reuse them - I wish I had.

The new rubber seals aren't as good and don't sit as well as the originals did. I'm even thinking of sourcing some used ones from a scapyard because I'm not pleased with the new ones Autoglass fitted last year.

We have Chimaera/Griffith screens and trims in stock. The original trims were made from a fairly hard rubber that took a 'set' over time that was reluctant to take any different shape, however slight, if it was reused.
The new ones that we have are from a softer, more pliable rubber and give a better fit and finish.
We are based in Bristol and have 34 branches in the South of the country, up to the West Midlands.
Many happy TVR owners as our customers but more importantly no unhappy ones!

I would be interested in one of those rubber trims. Can you e-mail with a good price?
