The black perforated strip by the windscreen wipers needs to be taken out to be repainted. Is it just the rivets on either side which need to be drilled out to remove it?

Cheers!

Bought a new one a few months ago. Remove the blades and arms, then drill out the rivits. You can buy black rivits or paint the aly ones.

So it is as easy as it looks! Thanks very much for that.

This is good news, I thought they were unobtainable: I'm in need of a new one too!

Can't find the receipt, but it was either Clever Trevor or Racing Green as these are the only suppliers I use. I know the cost was ok.

I don't think it was on their web site.
I asked over the phone and they found me one.

I had a look & couldn't find it either, although, I have now found out where to get one, about £55 plus vat I think. Racetech Direct.
I am going to order one myself in the morning.
