Cupholders
MonsterS ·Hi all, Has anyone removed the dashboard cupholder for the 2002-2005 models? Looking as we have repaired it 8 times now and this time the plastic just broke and is now horrible to repair (which it cant be). -
Windcreen wiper size?!
Declan C ·Hi All, on my gosh how hard can it be to get windscreen wipers?! Been online trying to get a set ordered, all the sites state the driver's side is either 26" or 28" (mine measures 30" so I don't want to get a smaller one!) and 14" for the passenger side (mine measures 16"!). Where are people getting their wipers and what size are you all buying? -

Pop top whistling in the wind!
Daveo ·Hi all, The front section of the pop up roof at the top of the windscreen is starting to come away from the roof itself. It's minimal at the moment but I think it may be the cause of a whistling sound that sometimes occurs at speed. So I need either a glue or a black sealant. Also in the second photo the paint is flaking away, so that's another consideration.I've attached a couple of photos to make it clearer. Any advice gratefully received.

Tailgate seal
Daveo ·Hi again!, Not sure if this is referred to as the tailgate seal but anyway it's coming away and perishing further along. Can anyone recommend the replacement seal I need for this?. (AH10 2.4).And whether it's an easy job! These photos may make it clearer. DaveoIMG_7244.HEIC.pdfIMG_7243.HEIC.pdf

Cupholders
I have replaced mine as it was missing the lower arm so was only useful for holding bags. I can't find any pictures of the replacement though this is the ebay listing. I don't recall it being particularly difficult, I suspect it was a couple of screws or bolts accessed from above by removing the 'wood' trim.

Cost to me was £233 at best price I found, you can have them for Only £115 plus £8 towards postage. However - if you collect them from me you could also pick up 2 x 4 litres Fanfaro 8610 oem Transmission Fluid Type TIV ( t4 ) and a Blueprint Auto Transmission Filter and gasket for the U140E 4 Speed Transmission as fitted to same vehicle, for Only an extra £20 ( too heavy to post and restricted sending oils ). Ask if you need to know Part numbers of any of these items. Location Near King's Lynn.

Pop top whistling in the wind!
I have used No Nonsense 291 Builders Silicone extensively on the pop top of our van. It's available from Screwfix. I think it's brilliant stuff and have used it on many jobs.

Tailgate seal
Is this the part, the 'weatherstrip, back door'? This is from amayama.com for my 2005 facelift model. If so the part number is 67881-58010. A quick look on ebay would suggest that it's cheaper to get it from Japan, but I only spent 5mins looking. Make sure you put the correct model number into sites like amayama.com.
