Black strip just behind front door glass

[maxaret]

The black area on the front doors just behind the glass - I am assuming it is a stick on plasticky sheet - are they easy to get ? as one of mine is really tatty !

thanks max

[Mattcheese31]

Thanks Matt
Trouble is - the other 3 doors are perfect so if poss just wanted to get some matching material LOL

[Eeyore]

yeh peugeot sell it precut so ive heard. i really want to make a template so i can do my own designs.

[Mattcheese31]

It goes under the seals so would think it'd be easy to get looking right, wouldn't have to be cut perfect.

There's plenty on eBay. I checked the other night. All quite expensive though.

My brother has his own vinyl company, could ask him to knock some up if there's any interest?

Hi Rich - mine is a 5 door,do you have the dimensions of the 3 door strip ?
Wouldn't be a problem if the strip was slightly large

thanks max

Surely that's pronounced 'yaft'? It's yacht lol...

[Eeyore]

the three door ones will be longer than the 5 door... and also youll need 4 of them so 2x 3 door ones. The angles will be different and itll be a pain. You need the proper 5 door ones.

yes yes lol, i knew it was wrong when i wrote it, strangely enough it's not a word i use with any real degree of frequency at all, i can't imagine why, well played, that's the first time you've caught me out for many years, bet you're jizzing in your keks :
my point still stands, i'll get some knocked up and put some pics up of them fitted if anyone wants some so be it . .

Its not too bad on my car because I only need to do one window - the other 3 strips are in really nice condition - which is why I wanted to find a matching strip and just do the 1 window : )

OK I have just removed the offending strip and now just need to remove the residual dried adhesive LOL
At the moment I have a strip of white spirit soaked paper towel draped over the area - but if that does not work - is there a safe solvent I can use ?? As I do not want to damage the paint or laquer !

polish? . .

[Eeyore]

yeh the adhesive is the worst bit. I think i just used a whole load of white spirit. Just try not to get it on the rest of the paint work.

[Magenta Sunset]

there may be a 'glue removing' product, just don't ask me what.

I usually wash my cars once a year whether they need it or not

the lower 2/3rds of the strip was in good nick and therefore all the glue still there LOL (pic on post # 3)

I'd have used a heat gun and old debit card like removing badges. There are quite a few tar & glue removers about that should do the job also.

I did think of heat but wasn't sure if the laquer would survive that Tom

[Toms306]

Not sure the lacquer on 306s survives a slight breeze tbh...

I've removed loads of badges like that without causing damage but I guess it could do. Even parking with that door facing the sun would probably help soften the glue if you don't want to risk proper heat.

Yeah and it is the best condition paint area on the car LOL - the bonnet,roof and tailgate does not have much laquer left .
I have left in the weak Perthshire sunlight and will google the problem later !

meths?

[maxaret]

meths?

Good idea - we have some in the drinks cabinet
I will get back to it during the week if the weather improves,but yes meths is handy stuff.

I was also wondering about IPA ?
