Try Daleys www.daleys.com.au I know stocks of Black are low or none, but they should have some Green.

Stinky,
  my car has only (well i'll try the best way to describe it ) a plastic push on capping along the pinch weld which i guess also secures the head lining edges..without the windlace... is it vital to have the windlace ? as i understand the windlace is pushed up into the head lining edge with a special tool (RE: FE Workshop Manual ), so can this be still installed along with my plastic capping ??


thankx Stinky

P.S. It has a new head lining installed and i'm not sure if the space/slot the windlace slides up into has been covered

also ive been told without the windlace there will be the sound of forced air coming through the door gaps ( i was hoping new door rubbers would seal and stop this ).... so maybe it's a no brainer that its all in the name " Windlace " is installed to stop the wind

AFAIC Windlace is purely decorative, I'd suggest taking the plastic capping off to fit windlace.

Thankx Stinky i did have a look on the website you posted....soooo many colours/options... and just looked at my FE and thought ( hoped ) it would be as easy as taking off the capping an adding the windlace pinned back along with the plastic capping...looks easy enough... so the GM Windlace is a must ???

Personal choice I guess, but it tidies up the shamozzle GMH made of the edge of the hoodlining, EK/FBs are much better being glued down and having a trim piece to cover the edge.

Not sure, I've never done a Wagon rooflining, but I think it's 7 metres for a Sedan.
