  • ACT Drip Rails/Weather Strips - Various VW Makes

    Hi there,

    I have recently located a UK based VW wrecker specializing in older VW's.
    Now, this is kind of a roll-over from my previous thread, where I was trying to locate these very hard to come by Drip Rails for my mates 85' MkII Golf GTI.

    Previous thread here:
    http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/show...ail-Doors-Seal

    They can be seen here as part four in the picture:


    So, after locating someone that can actually supply these strips in lightly used condition I am now passing this onto you, the Australian Dubber!

    Basically, I can ship within Australia and have you a delivered strip for $140AUD 5door and $160AUD 3door. Or, if you need both sides 240/280.

    Please remember the availability of these strips is not easy as they are a rare find for old golfs etc. (<Mk3), but that's what we are here for, so if your happy to wait in line, your chance will eventually come up.

    Anyway, I am taking orders now, so please if your interested let me know (in this thread) your spec, Model, Year, Doors, Sides (Driver/Passenger).

    Cheers,
    Aaron.


    UPDATE:

    They are here, now some pics:









    So the quality is pretty damn good the whole way through, they may be a little dusty and slightly scratched but apart from that all good. Here is the only real fault one 5dr strip has a slight scar where the paint has rubbed over the aluminum, a little touch of black paint would fix it in an instant though.

            Okay guys, as to not let this die and look like it has got nowhere, I will update.

            I have been busy off my ass trying to sort out these rails, they are damn hard buggers to get a hold of, but despite the ods I have managedd to track a fair few down...

            In my inventory about to leave UK shortly is 5 drip rails.
            3x MkII Golf 5door.
            2x MkII Golf 3door.

            Now, the 3door ones where a bit more pricey so to cover myself and not loose out I will have to charge $140 for each of these delivered...
            Anyway, this is good news and I hope to be having them here in my arms within 10 days.

            So I will keep you informed when they arrive to me shortly.

            Also, if anyone else needs to put in an order let me know and will add you to the list.

            Cheers guys,
            Aaron.

                Okay people, had six drip rails arrive the other day, got a bit delayed due to myself and a volcano...

                Anyway, they are quite nice, some had a little bit of gunk in them but I have cleaned that all out, re-oiled all the plastics and they are as good as new! (well, won't say that because you will all expect too much from me) but yeah, really good quality and not as hard as you would think to fit, but just fidily...

                I have replaced both of the rails on the Mk2 and removing the old ones is easy provided you are not trying to preserve the old strips.
                Basically I found a nice pulling down and out method (sick'o's) the easiest, doing this be didn't break any of the previous clips, however, noted that they only had 8 and 7 of the 10 clips they should have had, so we used the spares on them.

                Now, I will send to you the full strip and a full 10 clips (none broken) to go with it.

                I will try and get some pics together this weekend when I am back with the Mk2 and will put them up for you all. In the mean time though, is anyone going to be at Nationals that wants me to bring their set along?

                Cheers,
                Aaron.

                    Yeah they are the ones, slightly different but serve the exact same purpose.
                    I have them included, mine are not new but are in perfect working order.

                      Alright, so I will PM people in the list but if anyone else is interested please let me know.

                      The 5dr set has been cleaned and oiled, (far side in pics) but the 3dr is just dusty...

                        Checked up on postage today and it's around $40 regardless of either one or two strips...
                        So since everyone so far is after 2 strips anyway, I have updated the prices for single strip. $140-5dr, $160-3dr or the same as before $240 for 2 of 5drs and $280 for 2 of the 3drs.
