Why don't you prop up the passenger seat to use as a reference?
Last year I wiggled some wires under the passenger seat which cured the AIRBAG light for a short while, so with good reason, I attacked this side first I apologise, I don't think the picture was that clear.... It's not the part that closes over the roof above the door, but it starts where the door ends and goes along the boot to the rear of the car (estate here).rwb wrote:That's the rubber seal round the top of the door where the door closes over the roof, right?
On the saloon the rubber has a groove on the back of it that fits onto a lip protruding from the edge of the roof. It's very easy (to the extent that even I can do it) to pull off and replace.
Here's a picture of where the rubber round the driver's door.

Obviously, on the saloon that's as much rubber as you need. I don't know what's supposed to happen on the estates at the top back corner of the rear doors.
(and clean the car first!)
to the point i went out and got the color matched, once i done that i ordered the proper stuff to get her looking gleaming and I'm just waiting on delivery and she can have a proper clean.... Soooo what the hell happened to the gleaming 406 i saw at the start of this thread?

As i side note you mentioned the roof bars, mine are exactly like yours I'd love to know if there's a way of getting them back in tip top condition so if anyone knows a way?

A LOT of the roof bars on the 406's do this, It's real common
.... and i was Embarrassed because mine was stinking, it was clean for a day then covered in salt again. 
I used to use it on mine, but it never took long for them to show up their old faded selves again.teamster1975 wrote:I wonder whether any of that back to black cream would make any difference, may be worth a go?

They certainly do. Ironically, while the 406 bars go grey, the silver bars on the 307 were going black where the coating was coming off. The door handles were going the exact same way. The SW is supposed to be more upmarket than the regular 307 estate, but I'd much rather have the body coloured door handles from a 307 estate over the silly silver ones on the SW. I could probably happily live without the silly glass roof too, but it does give a valuable few inches of extra headroom if you leave the blind back.scotty73 wrote:I like the look on my neighbours 307 in silver but they fade to do they?

get abit of baby oil on a rag and wipe them over. Scotty, I don't understand this Peugeot Kmp bleu De Rhodes-Met rubbish? What's wrong with ''China Blue'' as printed on the log book? Do they not sell it as 'china blue'? Certainly a gob full that......scotty73 wrote:

Back to black cream may well work i tried baby oil and it worked for a bit then faded so i'll just keep that for the trim and maybe some dogging.
and it's basically not a pretty sight. I will definitely try the baby oil, quite cheap and I wouldn't need it for dogging like you Well, no offense us women have ''the touch''waue1978 wrote:I used to use it on mine, but it never took long for them to show up their old faded selves again.teamster1975 wrote:I wonder whether any of that back to black cream would make any difference, may be worth a go?

I did buy a set to get painted up silver, but after seeing the state of the silver rails on a 307 this week, I wouldn't advise that either. Best suggestion I've been given so far is Hammerite!
I shall at least try it and see how I get on..... I will definitely try and see - thankslozz wrote:Well... at the start of the thread she was cleanSonia406 wrote:scotty73 wrote:AHEM, at the start of this thread i saw a sparkling 406 estate exactly the same color as mine and got
