Hi all,

I've gone through and cleaned all of the rubber trims on my car (2 door), and have refitted most of them, but these two are baffling me. First thoughts are that they go under the lower window trim on the front doors, but they're too long, aren't they?

Anyone able to shed some light?

Cheers :)
Joe

they are your outer door seals, they fit behind the top of the window frame

Ah, yes! I remember now - there's a plastic push rivet that holds them in right?

Thanks for that - it's been bugging me for ages. I can't find a part number on them, otherwise I'd have searched for that on RealOEM.
