Hello all, basicly I've just had new viynl fitted on my mk1 SR
the guy who did it was trusted to do a good job which turned out to be
piss poor..... As the viynl was to high by about two inches ... Meaning that the rub strips don't fit properly...anyway ... That's sorted now they have been trimmed:) I was just wondering though what can I use to put the rubber side strips back on ????? Anyone done this b4? Cheers guys
