Can anyone tell me how easy it is to replace the rubbers on the roof, I was just going to do the hoop rubber but thought it would be better to do all in one go.

Cheers Ian.

Very easy. The "snappon" just pushes/taps on over the rim. The rubber that goes around the rear hoop is a common size and easily available, but the main (long) bit which seals both the doors and screen rail isn't.

Ian,

After the recent heavy rain I would like to replace my rubbers too. Which company did you get your's from, what rubbers did you get and who did you talk to?

Cheers

John

John,

I ended up calling peninsula automotive who sell a kit to replace all the roof rubbers for around £70. In the end i just ended up buying a hoop rubber for mine at £16 as that is the only one that's perished on my S. Don't know who i spoke to but try giving them a call on 01884 35341 they can do next day delivery if Necessary.
