Long gone I'm afraid.

They are a very snug fit. No movement at all.

OK I did it anyway. Quite easy. Remove the wiper arms and take off the scuttle panel (all plastic clips that push out from underneath. Using a door card removal tool (with some kind of padding underneath the fulcum to avert any risk of scratching the screen) prise up the old mouldings. The fasteners will break when you do this so you will need to carefully pick out the broken bits from the retaining clips or you will not be able to fit the new mouldings. I cleaned up the area under the mouldings and scuttle panel and applied a little ACF50. There's no need to do this but it made me happy! The little bit of lubrication also made it easier for the new mouldings to press into the retaining clips. Press the new mouldings into place. Replace scuttle panel and wipers. Job done.

For clarity, this is the part I'm talking about: https://www.japeurocarparts.co.uk/buy-front-windscreen-glass-moulding-drip--lh-86810-2195-2122-0-d There's one each side of the screen.

Has anyone ever done this? The ones on my Alphard have dried up and cracked (presumably from exposure to hot sunlight in Japan), so I've purchased two more. However they look like they'd be easy to break if mishandled, so if anyone's got any info/experience on changing them then I'd love to hear it.

£100. Good condition. Collection near junction 9 of the A14.

Video walkaround on Youtube I've put a video walkaround as I thought that would be better than pictures.

OK no problem. She reckons they are still there and will bring them to me tomorrow afternoon. I'll confirm when I've got them. Cheers.

I've messaged my ex. If it's still there I'll go and collect it, bring it to my house and take some fresh pictures to ensure there are no crossed wires - it's a long way to come to find out it's missing something.

They are very heavy! Would it be better to remove the bits you wanted and bin the rest? It would seem a shame to do that as you might need other spares in the future. Maybe if you look on the website shiply you can find someone who will pick them up and drop them to your for sensible money?

OK I'll ask her. Would you want to pick them up, or get them posted?

Don't worry about that. Do you want me to find out if they are there?

Unless my ex-wife has thrown them out, then yes they will be.

Hi Chris. Yes it is. I haven't advertised it anywhere, as I don't really want it to go because I love it so much. It just doesn't make any sense to keep it, so I'm quite torn. I'll put some photos up on the web shortly and send you a link. Cheers, Mark.

Hi Larry. I bought the suspension parts and my local garage swapped them over. There's nothing fancy about the suspension so any competent garage can change it. The money goes into getting the parts!
