Wtb 2 Seater Rain Gutter & Rear Hatch Trim

[theremm]

Anyone have some spares for sale? Particularly after the rain gutter trim but also looking for rear hatch trim if available too..

 

Looking a little lacklustre without

[theremm]

Still chasing if anybody can help me out.. particularly after the rain gutter trims.

Are you talking about the stainless trims that sit above your door/down beside the screen for a 2 seater? I do have some somewhere but they would be very difficult to post.

...they would be very difficult to post.

 

Australia Post has a maximum parcel length of 105cm. http://auspost.com.au/parcels-mail/size-and-weight-guidelines.html

The stainless roof gutter trim measures 134cm (straight line measurement between the ends).

[theremm]

This is the part I am after (both left and right side), I believe it just clips/presses onto the gutter on the edge of the roof?

 

Mmm perhaps courier would be only option then?

 

Any local sellers?

[GongZ]

Yes courier and careful packaging - maybe cable-tied to a piece of plywood before padding and wrapping.

Hi,

 

my advice would be not to run these if you can live without them, for a few reasons, all rust related.

 

1. They trap moisture after it has rained leading to potential rust issues along the drip rails.

2. While the trims are stainless, they use internal plated steel clips, over time the plating goes and the clips start rusting (stainless clips would be a better solution).

3. When you press them on, the clips may scratch the paintwork creating a potential rust opportunity.

 

Cheers

Thanks for the feedback, unfortunately I don't really like the look without them however perhaps 'regular' checking would be a way around this?

 As much as I like the 432-Rs I feel the same, a bit naked without.

I have a couple of pairs. Will have a look tomorrow and see what condition, although still won't solve post problems. 105cm limit for Aust post is correct I think. Can't believe you can't find some in Bris Vegas.

If you don't mind, and depending upon combined price of item with courier could be an option.

 

However, c'mon brisbane-ites!!

Yes have a couple of pairs. Don't understand the comment about plated clips. The pair on my car and both original pairs have no clips or sign of having clips - it is the shape of the part that holds it in place. Fish oil inside the trim would help preserve paint work. Your problem is postage. Unfortunately I am out of the country in a few days until next year. I have looked at the shape, you would need a very large sheet of plywood cut to shape to protect the parts, more cost and messing around than needed, which is probably why you haven't had much response. If you aren't in a major hurry (the missing trim isn't stopping your car from driving) I will be catching up with my bro in law early next year and you could probably pick the trims up near Strathpine. Save on courier. You might find some in Brissy in the mean time. If not a couple of months shouldn't be a major problem.

Thanks mate really appreciate that. Keep in touch and if nothing else pops up locally would definitely be able to meet you at Strathpine.

[alanwil]

Sounds like a plan. Will get back to you before I head up your way next year.

[alanwil]

Not sure whether you received my previous email. My bro in law is down this way in a month or so. He lives at Eaton's Hill so close to you. He can transport the gutter trims. I have 2 pairs - one pair in excellent shape for $50 or a second pair with the bend section not perfect for $20. Let me know.

[theremm]

Thanks mate PM sent

[alanwil]

Pay my bro in law when you pick them up would be fine, that way you can
check them. I'll just send the good ones up with him. Hopefully I won't need
spares but you never know, so will keep the not so good ones. Kev says he is
coming down in a month or so. I will let you know when they are up at
Eaton's Hill. Sorry about the messing around but they would be impossible to
post.

[theremm]

Ok all good. Thanks again for helping out. Really appreciate it You can give me a call or message on 042 442 3769 if that is easier when he is up.
