slappyhaze Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Does anyone know where I can get a replacement for the rubber 'seal' that runs down the side of the windscreen and hooks on to a plastic lip at the bonnet? There are 2 pieces i'm talking about that run down either side of the windscreen - not a ring around the glass, and it doesn't actually seem to be a 'seal' more a cosmetic finish between the glass of the windscreen and the metal of the A pillar, as I think the glass is glued on. Story: While washing my windscreen the other week I noticed there was a large gap on the passenger/near side, I looked over and saw the driver's side/off side had a rubber seal from the roof to the bonnet that was missing off the NS. I have no idea when it dissappeared, if I ever had it... but I phoned ford and they want £26+VAT AND 15 mins labour for fitting :o Suffice to say I don't wanna pay that for a strip of rubber, so other than trawling the local breakers (which i'm not hopeful for anyway) I thought maybe a few of you lovely lot may know a cheap part supplier in the Manchester area or online. Many thanks in adavnce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Focus_ST-3 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Mine fell off on the motorway, I got a new one for £8 from Quicko in Glasgow and fitted it myself. It appears that there is a Quicko branch in Manchester as well. They stock all Ford parts and you are guaranteed the part the next day.

slappyhaze Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 Got my seal today - Price I paid... Drumroll... £5.91!! B) :D That, my friends, is a saving of nigh on 20 quid just off the part, never mind VAT and labour And it only took me, literally 2 minutes to fit myself. Just a couple of clips. 'Fiesta Zetec-x' I Thank You again for reminding of Quicko. It's good to live in a major city ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slappyhaze Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 You could try them too, but I think to change it out might be a bigger job than I had. But simple answer is NO...sorry. Also just noticed you are not UK based, therefore I will have no idea of suppliers outside your dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irononreverse Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 do you know where i can find the "titanium" (chrome) looking one? I'm sure it's been mentioned in this forum a few times, but to replace that chrome strip is a pretty big job. It involves removing the windows and probably stripping down the door as well.

Datch Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I know this topic is 3 years old and I wonder if you guys even come about anymore but anyone know what that strip the original poster talked about is called? And if quicko still exists? I just noticed this morning that the strip on my passenger side was missing as well! I might try scrapyards but I don't know if it is as simple as rip off and clip back on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
