Window rubber seal?

    Hi, I'm hoping someone here can help me.

    I have a mk4 fiesta (1998), and I need to get some of the rubber that goes outside the window. I'm not sure what it's called, it's the strip of rubber on the outside of the window that gives it a wipe when you wind the window up / down. The old seals got damaged when someone tried to shimmy the lock by trying to get at it by prying the seal off and working at the lock from the outside, and now the rubber is loose and so doesn't wipe the window.

    So if anyone could tell me what that strip of rubber is even called, and where to get them, I'd be thrilled! :)

    I would go to ford to get them to order them. They are a wear item and one's from a scrapyard will be in no better condition with moss etc growing on them.

    I would agree with this, you will get much longer out of a brand new one than a second hand one. And it wouldn't be that much more expensive and if it is just look on-line for a non genuine dealer part.
