Hi again. I called into a place to get a price on new window tinting ($150) when the guy looked at it he said I should look at replacing the felt strip on the inside of the doors first, where window disapears into the door as these are old and will damage the new tinting they are old and brittle. I got in contact with Suzyspares at Seven hills, they looked around and said there is none.
Has any body replaced these? or have any ideas. Thank you again. cris

Mine were old and brittle, so I soaked them in liquid sugar soap and water, then scrubbed them with a brush. Good as new.

I'd say replacements would be nearly impossible to source.

I did the same (washed them thoroughly with a mild soap) initially, but ended up removing them and replacing them with a strip of self adhesive black felt (Bunnings ~$5.00). Works perfectly and can be replaced easily, just pulling down the window (make sure you clean the substrate perfectly).
