As mentioned in the previous blog the two rubbery corner pieces to the left and right of the two outer front windows,came adrift.
After soaking them in bleach for a week to clean them up ( came up very well ) decided to reaffix them today.
I used some of this from Poundland (£2):-
It seemed to work very well.
The bottom lip should fit in the panel gap between the body of the van and the panel where the light is but I couldn't get it to fit so just stuck it on and sealed around the edges.
It all looked OK when I had finished.
The Unicorn across from us in storage had also lost one I noticed,perhaps worth keeping an eye on.
New ones are about £8 a pair plus P&P from Prima Leisure.
Plugged in the new ATC light and all worked.
Just waiting for a new little plate as I buggered the original up trying to clean it up,all the lettering came off.
Whilst in that area there was a cable hanging down whose support had presumably come away.
Bought some of these from E Bay to reattach it:-
Seems to do the job,
The piece of body work under the front window ( the bit with the badge on ) always seems grubby for some reason and is difficult to clean.
Thought I would try some Silky ( £10 or so off Amazon ):-
It is non abrasive and did a good job.removed a lot of grime:-
You can also use it on a boat if you've got one.
Hope these little adventures might help someone,
Ian
