Autovaux .....not available, Evans Halshaw Vauxhall....not available,
Tried various places, including 24/7 car parts....nothing.
Then stumbled upon Vauxhall Green Parts....bingo...one new one 90460335 in stock
And, evidently, as Johnnydog mentioned, its coming in a very large box !!!!

Just tried your link, but no way to add to cart (I am registered with them). So I phoned, and they said no response from Supplier. So I have now emailed the details, so will wait and see.

Scrapping it is the last thing I want to do. Been searching around. Tried Autovaux as suggested, but the part number throws up a blank. That's why I will ring Vauxhall. Price (within sensible reason) is not a problem. Will probably ring Autovaux first, worth a try. Websites do not always match. The car has no rust, has 79,000 on the clock. Problem is, I am not familiar with scrapyards, and am not well enough nowadays to go scrabbling over scrapped cars. Hopefully Vauxhall in Banbury or Autovaux will come up with the goods If it take a few weeks, so be it, as long as I can get one

Is a perished rubber an MOT failure. I will ring Vauxhall and see if I can get a rubber seal. If not, I suppose its a scrap. At least get a few quid back on it. 
If its not an MOT issue, and I can't get the rubber, I may have to try and fashion something out of Gorilla tape, to hold it all together. Swmbo muttering 'scrap it'

Thanks for the replies chaps. The screen is original. its just the rubber that is likely to disintegrate any time. The bottom moulding is fine. The rubber has just started lifting from the glass along the top, but as I say, it's well knackered, and the screen is as tight as a drum.

People panicking around here...shortage of eggs is evidently due to online buying, put down to the pandemic.

Hi all...
2003 CD 2.6....... the windscreen rubber is perishing fast all round the screen. I understand these screens are complex, but is it possible to just fit a new rubber without taking the whole screen out. I have used the search system, but am a bit confused.
Thanks

General Car Chat / Seat change....
« on: 03 September 2020, 11:24:18 »
Hi all,
Since we had the Mazda 6, swmbo has been moaning about no adjustment on her seat. So after some discussion, we thought we would buy a new Mazda 6. However, I was perusing the bay of thieves, and casually searched for a Mazda 6 seat, with adjustment. Blow me, a place in SLady bitshorpe, wherever that is, had one for sale...£67 and free postage. Ordered Monday night, came last night. Wrapped up like a mummy, and the seat is in stunning condition. Now to get it fitted. Have asked the son in law. It has airbag, so I assume I have to disconnect the battery. Do you need to disconnect both terminals or just the negative, and will it have to go to the dealers to programme it. In my book, £67 is better than £25,000 out of my coffers. May still go for a new one next year, we will see.
Thanks in advance for any advice
