Hi all,

Are the rubber weather strips that go on the wind down windows on the front doors different for the Ghia models? I've just received a couple of secondhand ones but they don't seem to push on properly because of the chrome trim and do you know if the chrome trim clips are still available?

Cheers

Pete

You can get remanufactured replacements.
I bought some from eBay for when my missus Ghia was resprayed.

It's cracked badly and weathered. Mostly in the corners where it's been bent.
So I'm not sure I would recommend it..
Or it could just be that the guy who fitted it didn't heat it up first. I don't know.
:(

Ignore what I wrote above..
I was obviously half asleep.

The outer strips are different.
You need the matching ghia / none ghia parts. You can not mix and match.

The chRome attaches with two different types of clips.
Available in bags from Ford.

New weather strips are available. Remanufactured by Aldridge I think.
Last time I asked. They didn't do the ghia strips.
