Rub rail
« on: September 22, 2019, 11:09:24 AM »
Can anyone please direct me to a source for the black rubber rub rail for my 74 GT 160.  Mine is quite damaged and needs replacement.


Thank you, Jeff

Go to the Vendor Repair/Resources section. Second thread from the top for Glastron/Carslon rubrail info. It's a Taco marine insert, not an exact match to the original as it has more of a pointed profile but much better IMHO both from a looks standpoint & the fact that it protects the aluminum rubrail channel. The insert fits in the channel perfectly.
