Hi,
Does anyone have a decent, non rusty set of windscreen trims for a 1998 940?

Price with postage please!

Many thanks.

Join the club!

NLA apparently and finding a good condition used set is difficult.

Here's hoping!

Cheers

Default Skandix

Yes, I've seen the sets are in stock at Skandix............. at 249Euros (!!!!), plus whatever ridiculous postage they are charging at the mo - I read on here they have a minimum of £60 to cover "Brexit costs".

If I have to get new from them I guess I will........... but far rather not potentially pay over £300 for a couple of bits of trim!

It is expensive but trying to find good ones is nigh on impossible ! Chances are every other 25+ year old 900 series being broken will also have bu**ered trims. The ones that aren't will be on mint cars so you won't be able to buy them either

I know - you are right, of course - and in the scheme of things 300 odd quid isn't the end of the world - but gotta try just in case eh?!
But, yes, perhaps just better to spend the money and have it right for another 20 years....

Yeah, would rather spend £300 on a service.

Cheers

Default Skandix - HOW MUCH?!?!?!

I have, now, discovered that the "complete kit" that Skandix advertise for only 251 Euro's does NOT included any clips or the lower trim cover.......

Actual total cost for everything you need including postage to the UK?

Euro......... 428.72!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I'll leave it for now, thanks.
