    Hi all,

    Since my car was repainted I have noticed a flutter/rattle type noise from the drivers side window louvre panel. I seem to recall that pre repaint there used to be small foam pads on the retaining tab (to dampen this noise?) - does anyone else have these on their GTS’, and if so could you share a photo please?
    Thanks.

    Verell at unobtaniumsupply.com has rubber bumpers for the louvers. Two styles depending on the year.

    Try and get the originals back from your spray painter first.

    I bought a pair from Unobtainum a few years ago. I don't seem to be able to get the stem down the hole far enough. It's like I need to pull from the other side. I'm not sure how much disassembly that takes but it looks like a job. So they sit on the shelf.

    I just realized I don't have these. Does this mean that there is potential water leakage inside the car or is the water still allowed to exit?

    Water can get trap in there and rust

    Tried that, sadly they don’t have them - they don’t even recall them.

    You will have one hole either side in the bodywork if you don't have them. Not sure about rust with 328's being galvanised but get them just to be sure.

    Actually two holes each side. There was one at bottom center and one in the corner by the key end.
    Two different shaped rubber bumpers. Very difficult to get in but using windex as a lubricant makes it a little easier.

    Can anyone post a pic of what these rubber parts look like on the 308 GTS please?

    I got some from Maranello Concessionaires (not so unobtainable after all) and got them fitted with the aid of some lubricant and a narrow flat bladed screwdriver. Thanks to all for their help/suggestions.
