I don't like the system but it is what it is.

I considered changing the system to continuously welded parts but thought that would probably cause more trouble in the long run - especially if there was accident damage.

Also having seen a few pictures of PVs with customised seamless wings fitted to the body it makes the vehicle look like a jelly mold. The line of vinyl does break up the shape and give it some charm.

I decided I would put in new vinyl strips and "keep it original" but coat the outer and inner edges of the vinyl with mastic to try and prevent water ingress.
