Hi all

A bit of rubber has fallen off my car. If you open either door, and look on the back top corner of the door (where the glass meets the body), there is a 'corner' of rubber that cleans up the interface between the glass, body, and hood.

Any idea where I can get a replacement bit?

Bad luck PoD. When one of mine fell off it had the good grace to land in the passenger footwell after it bounce off the side of my head! Mind you a was making progress down the A12 at the time.

Local Tiv main dealer should be able to supply - less than a fiver.

Or definitely at Peninsula.

It comes off and gets lost that often that it's virtually a consumable item.

That's the badger. It was my passenger side one that attacked me.

Yip...TVR gear sell them.

£2.80 ish IIRC ...I fixed them on with adhesive and a small self taper.
A dab of black paint on the head of the screw will hide it nicely if you can't find any black ones lying around.

Here are the part no.s to save time.

TV0143 Door top LH (rubber finisher end bit) £2.10
TV0144 Door top RH (rubber finisher end bit) £2.80

Why would one side be more expensive than the other?

I've just replaced mine, spares ordered from www.tvrgear.com, very helpful over phone, one side is bigger then the other hence the difference in price.

The other side is a bit wibbly - is it worth me getting both sides, or can I just pull the passenger side off and re-glue it?

Is it supposed to be rigid in position, or move around slightly?
