[Mk2] [Generic] Mk2 Rear Window Surround Seal - Advice please

Post by MR22 »

I have a Zircon Blue Mk2.
Can anybody tell me if the top most plastic seal between the rear (back) window surround that houses the 3rd brake light and the rear of the roof is black, body colour or even rubbing strip colour?
It's probably the same answer for any colour of Mk2 but your answer is appreciated.
Thanks :)

PS. I never see any Mk2's these days to be able to look at myself.

Hi Mullen,
Thanks for responding. It's actually the seal that is just behind the roof of the car and is between that and the moulding that houses the 3rd brake light.
Still wondering what colour it is on any other colour Mk2 ? :D

There's a few pics in here where the backs are sort of visible.

No doubt someone with a different coloured 2 will be able to confirm.

Hi Mullen.
Yes! That's the very one! :shock:
And it looks body coloured in your photo?

Now, has your car been totally resprayed at any time? If it has it will almost certainly now be the body colour. If not, well that's my question answered. :D

Pretty sure mine's still got the factory paint job judging by the state of it.
