My Rare Spare rubbers have also perished. Not impressed with the quality of them.

Sadly a lot of mouldings are made overseas ,we may specify a standard ,but they suit themselves ,and we have no testing labs here any more , the word quality could be taken out of the dictonary ..bet you have all seen rusty stainless steel ...sad ..

Could always use CSIRO in Clayton for testing. Might cost a bit, but considering the amount of sales.....

Same story here. I bought a front end seal kit a few years ago and fitted them a coupla months ago. When I came out the next morning two had split and one had those little multiple creases in it that looks like perishing.
When I went to Rares I got the story about how I'd left it too long to fit them. I usually get good service at Rares and I was surprised how casually the matter was treated.
I bought and fitted a new set and no problems so far.

G'day gents,
The perished rubber issue surfaced earlier this year. I copied Dave Ryan from Rares into the conversation, and as far as I know he helped some guys out. He also addressed the issue around the old FE/FC dash fascias. He is good people.
Dave normally lives on the FX/FJ forum, so I've sent him some info on oldgrey58's post.
Cheers,
Harv
