hi all, im having problems finding the correct 8 mm chrome insurt that goes into the front and rear windscreen rubbers. all you can buy is the 10 mm ones that fit all the after market rubbers. all the people i have rang said you cant buy it anymore. im not using the after market rubbers cause they do look different the the genuine ones. so does anyone know if i can still get some.
cheers

Something to keep in mind,
Front & Rear sedan are the same.
The hatch strip is completely different.

You are correct Graham they are slightly different in shape but will do the job, plus i noticed the shape of the chrome strip supplied is more rounded than the original 1.

I've got a sneaking suspicion that early commodore (VB/C/H/K) WAGON rear windows use the same smaller size as torana too.....never know might be able to still get some from a holden dealer?
