i might have 1 (got loads of glass in the garage) i'll go take a look later.
Just phoned vx linwood to ask for you mate. The guy asked my reg then asked if it was a private reg lol i guess he doesnt deal in old money very much lol.
The rubber isnt sold by vx anymore bud.
I bought one of them new ones of eBay havnt used it yet but looks good
Thanks for the replys Conad thanks for the offer but Iam after a new rubber I have a used one but will be hard getting all the old sealant off it so looking to get a new one . Has anyone else bought a new one from the bay ?
Mine pishes in water on the gsi mate, I'd advise using a bead of windscreen sealant too.
Mine actually leaks between the seal and the glass not the seal and body :(
I bought the screen & seal from autoglaze in kilmarnock a couple of years back,i know the boys in there & could find out if they can still get them if you want.
Is this a eBay 1?Quote:

I soaked my standard one in white spirit overnight which got rid of all the factory sealant and left it like new.
You need deep pockets for a genuine one. They are a couple of new ones in Europe but they are big money, way over 100 Euros.
I bought a couple of non genuine ones of a window guy that comes into work and they look fine. Hard to tell the difference between gen and non-gen and they probably came out of the same factory.
I got a pattern one fitted, no problems, but it's never got wet lol
Is there any more available rich from the guy you got the copies from ?
I have a new seal that I would sell mate, drop me a pm if your interested
I rang around the local windscreen places and managed to find a guy who could get one, prob not gen but fitted fine and doesn't leak. I bought sealant but didn't use it and all fine 2 years on. Can't remember the company though. met him in a pub car park too, felt like a drug deal!

i got a non gen one off a windscreen company when i had a screen fitted, cost £19 iirc.
Took the last couple he had. They were £15 eachQuote:
