To arms! To arms! Find a scraper source!

posted by  someone claiming to be Dharvey on  Mon Nov 18 13:14 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Here is a project for the entire Brick World--find a replacement source for that window scraper rubber.

I hate the idea of Susan going to all that trouble of taking her doors apart just to install some not-quite-as-dead-as-what's-on-there-now used scrapers. Somewhere in the world there has to be a source of replacement rubber. It's just a stupid extrusion.

OTOH, if someone cut another die, he or she could make and sell this stuff by the ton. The scraper rubber is one of the most vulnerable rubber pieces on the car, and it's very important for keeping trash and excess water out of the door cavities. Every 240 in the land will need these to be replaced if they're going to live long and prosper. Even on my 1992 they're starting to get hard and split.

Any ideas?
