Hi Guys I need a little help

My 156 GTA is in the bodyshop at the moment and is almost finished now but the one thing we are struggling to find is front window scrapers (the exterior trim which runs along the bottom of the window/top of the door)

The rear ones were easily available and have been replaced but the front ones are proving harder to source!

Anyone suggest anywhere I might find a pair, brand new preferably but really good used ones would do.

I have tried the local dealer, EB Spares, Lyles, Alfa Workshop and Autolusso but so far no joy.

Part no.s are 60620738 right
60620739 left

Cheers

Dave

Spoke to a guy today at Edgware Motor Accessories (website rubbertrim.co.uk) who says if he can get a look at a window scraper he may be able to replicate it.

He is at 33 Albany Cl, Bushey WD23 4SG. Tel no. 020 8950 4694

Is there anyone in the area who has a 156 who can maybe pop in and let him have a look or does anyone have an old/spare scraper they could send him. The bodyshop chucked mine after the respray!

Could be worth a shot?

Struggling to find front trim

Hi Guys,

Dave; I hope you were able to source decent strips for your 156 GTA.

I've recently noticed bubbling on my OSF and NSF window trim as well and am really struggling to find new stock. I have tried several dealers, however FIAT have apparently sold out.

I have heard that the internal strips are aluminium and that the oxidisation of the strip would not necessary result in the door panel rusting, however the bubbling has caused the strip to tear away from the panel itself in places.

Part nos:

60620738
60620739

I have contacted Euro-Forin and am yet to receive a response. If anybody is aware of any independent resellers holding stock or companies that regularly break 156's I would greatly appreciate any help I can get.

Many thanks

- Dan

Yes Dan I did manage to locate a reasonable pair from a local breakers but they aren't perfect and as yet I have been unable to find new ones anywhere..

The search continues...
