cooke Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Does anyone have any good tips on how to refurb the rubber around the windows, mine are a bit grey and i want to bring them up black again, can you buy new rubbers or would they only get replaced when the window needs replaced?

Use either Auto glym bumper treatment or Maguires tyre gel. Lasts for ages and comes up a treat. Or you could just get new rubbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to wipe the excess off the paint and the rest sticks to the rubbers. I imagine Toyota would be the best place to get new ones from but I wouldn't fancy messing around with them.

You onlu need a tiny amount on a small brush. Asda do a set of kids pint brushes that are about 1/4" wide. They are perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
