Correction: Transit Mk5 side trim strips

In a couple of previous threads here I had said - based on what my local Ford dealer had told me - that the side trim strips for Mk5 Transits were no longer available.

However, it seems they now are again. For example the one on the O/s that runs from rear wheel arch forward to just behind the cab door is FINIS code 1052522.

I needed to replace mine because AS made a poor job of sealing around the Carver water heater cowl, and water had leaked in and sat in the joint between the side panel and the floor - rusting it right the way through, and deforming the external trim. A replacement panel is cheap at around £30 - though the labour costs to weld it in and paint it up won't be!

Sadly the trim strip is not cheap either, at a few pennies short of £70...
