Drivers side does the job but the passengers side whistles at 60+mph. Total cost about £50.
The Lotus original is a very complex moulding with a plastic L shaped reinforcer at the corner and a wiggly wire reinforcer down the length. Being made of steel, it rusts and blows the sponge rubber apart. I hope no-one is planning to make a straight copy.
I'd like to see how you fabricated that sometime - I work in Derby.
Striking fear into the hearts of duplicate posts everywhere...!

The curse of production composites strikes again, you have my sympathies Phil
If I can help any anyway, you know where I am, time is a rare commodity at the moment but I can always find time for LEC
Owww, you done my back panel yet
