What This Product Does

The short rubber strip provides a finishing component for the shark fin area of the sill cover. It replaces the corresponding trim piece rather than the complete sill panel.

Functions

• Finishes the shark fin section of the sill cover assembly.
• Replaces deteriorated rubber cover trim.

Technical Details

• Version: short rubber cover strip.
• Colour: black.
• Left-hand reference: 9655592950001C, diagram item 18.

• Internal diagram application notes: TURBO / TURBO-LOOK.
• Sill cover diagram context: 964 1989–94; this does not extend the specific fitment listed above.

Symptoms of Fault

• Rubber showing splits, cracking or hardening.
• Trim pulling away or sitting unevenly.
• Gaps appearing where the strip meets adjacent components.

Why Replacement Matters

Renewing damaged rubber helps restore the trim joint and its appearance. During refurbishment, inspect the neighbouring sill cover and its fixings so that an underlying attachment problem is not overlooked.

FAQs

• Can hardened rubber be restored?
  Conditioning may offer temporary improvement, but cracked or shrunken trim generally requires renewal.
• What should be checked before fitting?
  Confirm the required side and reference number, then clean the contact surfaces and inspect surrounding attachments. Avoid stretching the rubber during installation.
