David_Stamp Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I have seen several people use a thin rubber edging strip on their aeroscreens to prevent chafing with the car paintwork. It comes with the full aeroscreen kit from Caterham but can anyone tell me what size this thin (presumably ‘U’ shaped) rubber edging is and is there an eBay or similar source?

Benton Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Just look for rubber U channel on EBay. Measure thickness of screen, they vary depending on construction material, but the rubber channel is normally flexible enough to accommodate a range of screen thickness. Depending on how well your current screen “follows” the shape of the scuttle you might want to opt for a slightly deeper depth of channel cutout to fill any gaps between aeroscreen and scuttle.

SamC Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 A word of caution, it doesn’t stop chaffing! Maybe minimises it, but you will still get marks if it is just up against paintwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigCol Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I used this stuff both to seal the bottom edge and to add an extra lip to my aeroscreen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
