Does anyone know the correct windscreen trim filler to use on a GP2 screen. Fancy trying some chrome type insert instead of the current black. There's loads to choose  from, guess they are much the same profile but not sure :-\

Thanks,
Paul

Your choice may be limited due to the thickness of the fibreglass as most are designed to fit on thin sheet steel.

Snoopy, may have misled you in my post. The screen rubber which holds the screen to the fibre glass frame is fine. I'm asking about the filler ( usually v shaped) which goes into the screen rubber.
Hope this makes sense.

Ah got you the rubber beading and chrome strip, to get some you would need to look at the main rubber end profile yours for the shapeand measure it, on most cars the rubber bead was seperate from the chrome trim this went into it's own little slot in the rubber.

Woolies for all things trim related, the chrome filler is item 358 as long as your rubber's profile is the same as theirs.
