Where can I get a replace piece of plastic strip from?

[tomkilbourn]

Hello everyone, 

 

I need to find where I can purchase a replacement piece of plastic (or is it rubber?) sealing strip, as mine has cracked off where the mudflap is attached. I was going to glue it back on but have lost it!!

 

Im not too sure what the strip is called, but you can see it in the photo where it has cracked by the mudflap bolt washer.

 

If anyone could let me know where I can purchase some I will be eternally grateful!!

 

Cheers,

 

Tom

I suppose one of the best places to go is a breakers yard or something. There may be some online as well but like with most subaru stuff it takes some finding :)

[tomkilbourn]

Hello, yeah I was thinking a breakers yard too but its the whole process of having to phone them up and trying to describe what I want.

 

Is the plastic strip part of the skirt strip or skirting seal? I dont know what correct search term to use to actually search for it online  :)

Did a quick search on eBay and found these:

Looking at that they are one piece unless the end strips do come off

[tomkilbourn]

Thanks for the link, yeah that is interesting it looks as though they come as one piece - including the skirts.

 

I assumed they were just a separate piece of thin plastic strip.

 

If they are all one piece then I know what to look for!!

Not sure I'm allowed to mention this but on BBs.scoobynet there's a trade section for breakers. Get absolutely anything there :)

No mate. I've been using Matty @ MB Developments. No bit is (err can't believe I'm saying this) is too small. I've ordered a couple of quid plastic strip from him.

I can't believe some of the cars he's breaking...they look mint lol
