Hi, has any one had any experince or know of any methods for restoring the black rubber strips on the doors wings etc.

Mine have slight scrape marks on them and I was wondering can these be removed by fine emery paper and then brought back to 'new' finish with a black polish......any ideas would be most appreciated.

would just replace them, you could try a repair kit, seem them around but not heard of anyone having any real success with them.

Pick up a replacement off a fellow zoner.
