Selling off one (or bits

) of your XM collection, or perhaps searching for those elusive headlight washer covers? This is the place to do it.

The original ones are more plasticy than rubber
The one I have shown is quite rubbery Will but I think there may have been a change at some point.

That change is due to age....when rubber becomes more plastic.
They,originally,are made of some kind of rubber.

I think I have seen some spoiler gaskets in a shiny and harder vinyl material, rather than dull and softer rubber, but I might be wrong Misha. With regards, Matthew T.
