does anyone know where to get the black rubber strip that sits between the bottom of the door panel and the door?

Ed uding at DMC Europe. You have to re-use your own stainless strip though.

Not that one, I have a thin spongy strip between the bottom of the lower door panel and the door itself it's stuck directly where the row of bottom fir trees are. Do all DMC's have this or is it just a mod of some sort.

sounds like summat Dave Woodyard who used to own DGS803X got from BMW
when he worked there, its a self expanding foam filler sort of thing.

He had a roll of it, which he'd then cut in half lengthways, as from memory
a roll is about an inch wide, so he'd make it half that and use it to fill the
gap between the door panel and the door itself, as it would fill in any uneven
gaps over night.

Anychance you can up load a piccy of the bit your talking about so that I can
be sure we're singing from the same hymn sheet so to speak?

One way to eliminate that gap is to replace all the fir trees with new ones that actually have some grip in them. If you'd like to go down that route, I'm yer man :wink:

I got a roll of it on ebay

something like this:

Well I do have a bag of new fir trees that I got from you when I replaced them and tapped them in all the damn teeth split off them, was well gutted.

?! I'm sorry to hear that Mike, I haven't had any problems with that myself - drop me an email and I'll see about replacing them. I can't sort problems I don't know about...
