Clear U profile wanted

[Mike]

Does anyone know where I can source 1m of the clear U profile as on the window channel below? It was an IVA fail on this Cabrio, so I want to avoid the issue for my IVA test.

Hi Mike,
do you think it could be a length of shower screen seal with the seal bit trimmed off with a razor blade?
Try searching 'shower screen seal' on ebay and see if you can see something suitable.
Or maybe secondary double glazing but I couldn't easily find any in clear?

I can see something similar on the edge of the bonnet but that looks like Halfords body guard.

But I would use black rubber 'u' channel for the bonnets as you can glue them on.

Looks like the edging used on secondary double glazing sheets but might be a tight fit however I thought all these edging covers had to be fixed permanent now??

I would second Peterx in using rubber U section. That is what was fitted to my cabrio for its IVA test. Unfortuanately the glue wasn't very strong and I glued only the back .......

My window frames were not an issue, just all around the wings and whell arches. Also I had to fit rubber covers over any forward facing nuts inside the wheel arch,

Re: Clear U profile wanted

Two other options you might like to consider which do not require anything to be trimmed. The guys that installed my conservatory fixed a capping strip over the bottom end of the roof double glazed glass sealed units rather than just leave the ends bare and I used a similar product when I made my carport. I roofed it in tri-wall polycarbonate sheeting and a capping strip is fixed to both ends to stop water ingress but with holes drilled elsewhere as per instructions to allow it to breath
