Save yourself the heartbreak of using furflex and go straight for
Britstleflex: http://www.macgregorukcarparts.com/ I think Moss may also
sell Bristleflex as well.. In order to get the Bristleflex from Martin
Macgregor it's best to call him as he's not good with email responses and
you may have to call a few times to get him, but it's worth it. Furflex is
a pain to install and more annoyingly, will come loose from the curved
areas. Bristleflex costs more, but it's a waste of money buying the
furflex first and then having to buy the Bristleflex anyway.
