Hi, does anybody knows how to fix the RS TURBO A pillars wich are completly deformed???
I think it is a common fault on all RS S2. This is the third I have and all of them have those horrible deformed trims.

 

do u me the lumps on them mate cause they are supposed to be there i think

 

yes, that is

 

yer im dam sure they are like that from new mate , i took one off a 3i i was breaking once and they looked as if they are molded like that from new

 

Your right, I have never sin any A-pillar trim stright

 

i like the wrinkled a piller trim it unique

 

No, they should not be like that. New, they are the same shape as the A-pillar, although with a "grained" effect.

These were the ones on my old XR3i. Not bad, but have seen better



The ones on the Cabriolet are immaculate though





It is all to do with UV-protection. The shape of the windscreen naturally lends itself to the suns UV shrinking the plastic trims. If you get a good set, keep them coated with a light silicone spray (once a month is fine). This helps keep them subtle and protected from UV attack.

I may have a set of new ones in the collection somewhere. If I can find them, I will see if they are of use to anyone
