Hello All!
Please see photo of two samples of Furflex received.
One is hollow with a rubber pipe inside to keep the shape. It can not compress much, but with the pipe inside the trimming will keep the shape and probably adapt better to the door. But it is quite hard, so i think it will put too much pressure on the door and glass frame tending to distort them when the door is closed. A similar situation to the leather one that there is now on the car.
The second sample is from another supplier, and the hollow Furflex trim is empty inside. It is just an hollow fabric tube. Obviously it will not be able to keep a perfect round shape without the rubber pipe inside, but it it probably more appropiate, as will will provide less resistance as it can compress more. So preserving better the door frames, hinges etc.. Might be a bit more noisy as it might not completely fully adapt to the gaps.
My question is, how the original type was? just an hollow fabric type? or there was an internal piping?
Thanks!
