    . . . And fair enough too. An email or 'contact us' communication gives them more scope to ensure they are answering the potential client's needs... so the return call / message will be comprehensive and convenient to both parties.

    I left "contact" details on Sunday night via websites ("Leave your message and we'll get back to you in 48 hours" ) to two Solar - supply & repair companies, one of which had added 1kW of panels to my system last year... - NONE replied.

    Today is Thursday evening, a bit more than '48 hours'. Yesterday anytime would have been acceptable.

    So, the one which I rang on Tuesday afternoon, which gave me good advice / choices over the phone is booked next week for repairing/replacing my 5kW inverter.... $650 or $2,500 - Don't care which as my insurance 'excess' is still $500 either way.

    Silly thing is... if they hadn't had a 'Contact Form' on their websites, I would have rang them all on MONDAY morning instead...

    Sorry for the late reply - I don't bother with this forum much anymore - but the part number for my 4-door seals was pinchweld rubber 60-054. A search for this number will have plenty of results. I had similar problems with specialist suppliers so I figured this out and got some from eBay.

    I measured the front doors at 4 metres each, and 3.5 metres for the rears. Cutting the mitred corners was best done with a large, sharp wood chisel, (I found out later on!).

    Of course the doors still aren't leak-proof!

    I've had a prob with a very similar supplier for Bailey channel.

    Wasn't cheap, freight wasn't cheap, was only for one door.

    Hung in the shed for a couple of years and when I went to fit it I found I really needed another half a metre to to the door top. Never again.

    DL, your post reminded me of when I did mine. One "rubber specialist" answered one email but not the next. Another guy sent enough channel for my 4-door but then I found that the rear vertical channel for the rear door windows is a smaller size.

    Hilarious* emailing followed where he did nothing about it and then admitted that he had started selling channel for 4-doors without checking an actual 4-door vehicle. He did at least send something that worked, eventually.

    At least I got the part numbers out of it, which I haven't seen anywhere else. For all the windows except the rear vertical channel for the rear windows: 350.634. For that rear window channel: 350.452. It will pay to check these numbers, but that's what I dug out of my records tonight. And it should save somebody from having to deal with these . . . er . . . "casual" businesses.
