Busy with a late bay window panel van and before it goes to panel beater in jan I have been stripping it.
The front door aluminum trims are damaged and the window guides broken. Can I buy these new somewhere?
Also the rubber kits that are sold, how complete are they?
Will need front widescreen, both front doors, sliding door, rear window, engine comparment and tail gate rubbers.
Project looks a bit daunting as some stuff is so brittle a skeef look makes it fall apart.

Those window kits are available, and as Terry says, not cheap. Local window rubbers do work, but it is best to import good quality stuff that is actually
made to fit the door or window.
Tony has been bringing in some bits recently. Or Rui (calooker), Jacques in PE (splitbusaholic) might also have stock.
Wolfburg West is an option some of us have used, and their quality is good.
Exchange rates, import tax, duties, etc might bring on very loud curses
But good luck and post pics
