Wheel Arch Flare rubber Seals

[Gizmops]

hi all, looking where to source the rubber seal between the wheel arch flares and the bodywork. Is it a common part ghat can be bought on a roll. I havent removed mine yet. Any advice please. Thanks

Toyota calls them gaskets , panel gaskets maybe , I can't remember but I do remember that they charge a ludicrous price for them .

Bought a roll of the stuff from somewhere when I changed my 80's flares which turned out to be to thin and so I ultimately used sika ebt .

White spirits dissolves silicone (very slowly) so dip your finger in that to smooth over the finish .

I used black ebt on a black truck and it says it all that I've never noticed it in all the years since .

I have just bought some off ebay, they are not genuine, but at 30£ for a set I'm willing to take the gamble and see if they are any good.

Received the strips the other day. They seem ok to me.
They have a foam '3M' style adhesive on them. Maybe a bit less flexible than originals I have felt.
But considering they will be trapped between the arch and the body I dont see why they wont work very adequately.
