    Where did you get the metal strips made up mate? I have the same problem with my car, I guess any metal workshop could fabricate them.

      I had a friend of mine fabricate them for me I have a couple of strips left not enough to do a whole car but they are easy to fabricate. My problem was removing the existing corroded metal i needed up using brute force (wood chisel and patience) heat the rubber to get the metal out and a shot blaster to clean the the rest of the rust from the rubber strips. I then used a high strength silicon to bond in the new strips then off to the paint shop. I do have 3 decent rubber strips for sale that need re metalling

        Right... Nice one for the advice, I have a metal workshop close by with the equipment to fabricate the strips, just need to recover a strip with right profile on from the knackered sections on my doors.
