Do you suffer from 'gutter trim vibration'? Is your trim faded and worn out?
Well help is at hand!
Did you know, the chrome plastic trim available for 'Mini' wheelarch and sills fits the R4 roof? Well it does and best of all one length for a 'Mini' side will do the whole roof on a 4.
It's readily available in accessory shops and motor factors and it's not expensive.
Fitting it is easy. Take off the old trim which is held on with clips. Keep the clips to re-use (if there are any left) Clean up the gutter, put what clips you have in useful places and put some blobs of contact adhesive at points all round. Start at the bonnet line by the windscreen on one side and roll the trim up and around the gutter pushing down firmly as you go. When you get to the end, cut off the excess and the job's done. You may find a 'heat gun' useful if you try to do it in the cold but the stuff's pretty flexible.
That's it, no more noisy trim and looks great as well. Give it a go
