Highline metal stripes

Has anyone been able to find the metal stripes with the coloured section that goes on the doors (door Mouldings)

I have been trying to get these for ages and refuse to pay the prices of vw

Any ideas?

Door not shutting

I'm having issues with my drivers door. Basically it's not shutting, the door shuts but does not hold so it just opens with a push.
It doesn't lock either so we changed the mechanism and it worked twice then stopped and is doing the same. Any suggestions?

Re: B5.5 wing mirrors

thank you very much! well i stuck on the passenger one and it has stayed but the heating part is not working due to one of the connectors on the wire being broken.
Now the sodding drivers has decided to fall off!
I know this sounds strange but if i glue it back on it will still heat up and clear?
