  • Clear U profile ?

    Does anyone know where I can buy a couple of metres of a clear (opaque) U profile to fit over the tops of my side windows in order to pass the IVA test?
    The glass is 5mm thick.

                Halfords do a clear u profile door protector....... might be worth checking out if it's flexible enough?

                  Does it need to be clear? There are lots of kitcar trim suppliers that can provide u channel rubber in black. It might not look great but there is a strong chance of it blowing off in the wind after IVA.

                    CBS do a chrome version which might look better than black...#TRMCU5 is the part no.

                      This is the conclusion I came to too: if it looks permanent the examiner has less reason to reject it.

                      I bought some from Woolies Trim today for £4, - its not ideal as it really suits 2mm panel thickness not 5mm, so is splaying open a little, but it looks reasonably permanent:

                      - though as John says, it will still probably blow off in the wind on the way home!
