Hi Guys

Some time ago i got a pm with the question how i did the window rubbers.
I will post it here also so it might be useful to others as well.
The trick is very simple but it took me a while to figure it out.
Buy yourself a thick black Permanent marker.
Stick a needle in the center of the tip and let it stick out 5 mm or so.
Take a windowframe and let the needle be the guide , and follow the contour of the window on both sides.
Practice a bit with a dummy windowframe and play a little with thickness of the of marker for desired effect.
Or change the shape of the tip a little with a knife.
New markers gives a better and nicer layer ink.
Hope this info is useful for someone.
And here is the result.
