“Trapping Water”, my November 1960 Estate build has perfect gutters, 59 years later

Never had gutter trim to my knowledge

That is the stuff i spoke about it is junk Brian.
Jim wants the original ones that came in two halves and fitted nice and correct with two clips in the center of the windscreens to hold them tight.
If you really have to have trim there Jim just get some door edge guard in a 20 foot roll you will have a better chance of getting it to work, JC Whitney used to sell all kinds of trim also.
FWIW all they do is trap water if you are using a Mini for a daily driver.


If in doubt, flat out. Colin Mc Rae MBE 1968-2007.

Yeah... I bought a roll about 10 years ago or more and it still won't relax enough to unwind. It is in the "collection" somewhere.

Hi, Does any one know where I can get the black plastic trim that fits around the roof seam used on late model saloons?
