Outer Door Window Trim

[Eddie350]

After 20 years of ownership (and very slow restoration) car going for respray next week, turning attention to exterior refit.
Does anyone know where the 'outer' door glass trim which runs along the top of the door and seems (in the past) to have had a chrome insert was from?

Another mystery item - Zig might know?

(Thanks Adam)...I believe it to be called a "Waist trim" there are a few to try, I couldnt find a definitive, did you need chrome or rubber?...

Zig I'm disappointed! it's more of a plastic trim rather than rubber weatherstrip.

There's also a particular profile to it.

Having used this stuff before it’s as close to original as I’ve found. A tad wider, but comes with an adhesive back which is helpful. Also plain or chrome insert. As someone else mentioned it’s more of an edge trim vs wheel shield for the glass

That looks a near to the original as I think you could get

As I said mate...I never found a definitive answer to this one...
Plus it is actually called a "Waist seal"...but hey...good ole TVR, looks like its wheel arch rubber for the top of the doors...why didnt I think of that...
