At a glance

Why neoprene

Neoprene is a tough synthetic rubber that resists weather and ozone and tolerates light oil and grease, so the channel keeps its grip in engine bays and workshop settings as well as outdoors.

Fitting tips

1. Check the fit. The 2 mm slot suits panels up to 2 mm thick.
2. Measure the run. Measure the full length and round up to whole metres.
3. Clean the edge. Remove dirt and old trim first.
4. Press it on. Push the channel over the edge by hand, a section at a time, until it bottoms out.
5. Finish the ends. Cut square with a sharp blade and butt the ends neatly.

Questions buyers ask

Is the price per metre?
Yes. Order the number of metres you need and they arrive as one continuous length.

How deep does it go onto the panel?
The slot is 23 mm deep, so it covers about 23 mm of the panel edge.

Neoprene or EPDM?
Neoprene has better oil and grease resistance; EPDM has slightly better long-term UV resistance. Both work outdoors.

Will it stay on without glue?
On a 2 mm panel it grips by friction. On thinner panels, a little adhesive in the slot helps.
