Re: MK1 seals again plus rain gutter plastic

[SailingFC@aol.com]

The trim on my '78 was black painted aluminum.  It was a pain to put back on 
when it was available.  Now that it's obsolete, the stuff I found comes from 
TAP Plastics.  It's the "U" shaped plastic door trim material.  Comes in 
black with an adhesive inside.  Best applied in a warm environment.  Cut it 
longer than needed because it will shrink over time.  Relatively cheap, so 
don't sweat it if you mess up.

You _might_ be able to get the real thing BUT I have considered two
thoughts; 

1. Edge trim from various sources comes in black ABS type material,
cut to length.

2. Roughen and paint with a thick rubbery substance like the stuff
used to dip handles into, it also come in a spray can.
