Hi,
As anyone replaced their Gutter trim with anything other than the 'official's stuff which seems a bit pricey?
Found quite a few sections that will do and looks 'as good as' so was just wondering.

some people like mini trim, you know the cute little mini from the late 50s

Bit slow on replying to this but I'm with Aidan on Mini trim. It fits great but do bear in mind that its out in the wind, so you'll need to bond it too. If not, by the time you get home, it'll be gone

Thanked. Will give it a go

I always used rubber trim from schofields looks almost original, from memory its £12, Not sure if they still do it as i havent done any vans for a good while

Mini trim for me also - I have just bonded the ends on only though. Bonding does appear to be failing slightly now after many years.

does it need to have trim? I only ask because ours doesn't have any, didn't have any when bought.

Yes it does. Your van will not run properly with no trim.

So that's what has been wrong with it for the last 21 years I must order some tomorrow, thanks
