Windscreen rubbers

Post by Uk911 »

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I'm getting ready to put the front and back screens back in, and there is a wide range in suppliers and price for the rubbers with OEM being the most expensive. My question is which is the best is OEM worth the extra £££ for a better fit etc. I have no problem paying OEM just checking it's the best option?........ Many thanks in advance.

Also the chrome trim for the window rubber, OEM or aftermarket ??

Regards

OEM all the way and buy from Porsche, bizarrely they were the cheapest of any suppliers.

Voice of experience....OEM, mine piped in so easily. Make sure he metal trim bits (what ever they're called) are also in good shape, or do like I did and get new ones too.

+1 for new trims, although I recommend you check them very carefully ( one of them that OPC supplied me was out of shape...)
