dan 0 Posted February 19, 2003 You know those rubber strips that run along the roof (front to back). Well I don't know about yours but mine look a bit knackered. I was browsing through the R. Bentley CD and came across the part no. for these its AKL 450 005 05. :idea: I phoned up a dealer to get a price for new ones and, to my suprise they only cost about £6 each :D . (the prices for corrado parts was to be reduced according to someone in the forum so, maybe this is true after all). Anyway, I ordered two sets yesterday, they should be here next week 8) . The CD also shows how you have to prise them out, from the back towards the front which is handy. I'll keep ye posted (just in case they don't fit or anything) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vondribbley 0 Posted February 20, 2003 I have also been meaning to get the strips replaced but heard that they were about £40 a time- it would be nice to know how you get on as I think i can stretch my budget to £12 :D If you can take photos while doing it, that would be helpful as well 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

longman 0 Posted February 21, 2003 joby, what was the part number as i need to get one of those key phobs or whatever they are. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dan 0 Posted February 21, 2003 My understanding on the strips is that, there's a hard plastic strip which would probably cost about £50 but there is a rubber strip which separates the hard plastic from the roof. Its the rubber that perishes not the plastic. Thats how I assumed it would be after talking to the guy in the VW parts dept. To be honest I haven't looked at the strip that close myself :oops: but I will this evening when I get home. I'd also like one of those keys... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scott 0 Posted February 21, 2003 joby, what was the part number as i need to get one of those key phobs or whatever they are. What is this key fob ? - blank key with a case ? - If so how do I get one *:) - Ive no spare for the VR :oops: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

G60Jet 1 Posted February 21, 2003 Just so you know The 16v and VR6 Keys are from the Golfs. that part number i assume is for an AH profile key, I believe from what i've seen on the CD that the G60 on is no longer available :-( :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vondribbley 0 Posted February 25, 2003 Dan, any news on what parts you ended up getting ie. is it the whole thing or just the tape to stick it down with? :turn-l: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dan 0 Posted February 25, 2003 I haven't heard anything from the vw parts dept yet. He told me they would arrive this week sometime. I have the car booked in to have the alignment done next Thursday, (hope to have them before then though). I did prise out one of my strips just to have a look. I was suprised how deep the trough is in the roof :shock: , its about 25mm deep. There is a little 'fir tree' stud at the back (just in front of the back door hinge), that holds the strip down, this prised up easily :) . The strip is made up of a combination of plastic, suede & rubber. It is just slightly oversized thus making it a snug fit. There is a 10mm strip of white tape running along the roof just below the strip (hope its not that I've ordered :x ) I'll just have to wait and see what arrives from the parts dept.

2cc 0 Posted February 25, 2003 Quizzed my stealer last sat. He says the strip comes as a single item i.e. the wide plastic bit with the rubber attached. Costs £48 +vat ea. Stock check indicated something in the order of about 10 only in the country if I remember rightly. Lets know what u get Dan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vr6stormer 0 Posted March 5, 2003 Get them from GPC i got mine from there--can't remember price but i'm sure they are cheaper than the stealers! :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
