hey all, having repaired my rusty surround about 3 times now i think its best if i get a propper job done. Any 1 know if renault still do the surround or the repair kit if not does any 1 have 1 for sale?
Dont really fancy cutting 1 out of another car tbh.
My sprayer/welder said he can get 1 made for sure but will cost a fortune i reccon.

Any input appreiciated

Cheers inadvance

mine is all rusty at the bottom of the windscreen, guessing its common problem on the r5s, is it just a repair panel that gets spot welded in place ?

Renault look at their prices twice a year and normally they go up, but the old thing has decreased.

Anyone got one of these parts for sale? I need to do the extra van as the first job.

you could also try a scrappy and get hold of a campus and just angle grind the windscreen surround out and weld it into ur 5 ;) be cheaper than buying a new1

I've got one, when I ordered it a year or two ago I was told it was the last one available in the UK. Maybe they have now worked through the stock they had in France. I certainly payed nowhere near £180 for it.

14-05-2009, 18:05

Well someone needs to sell me one and then i will get some made up.

Hey K did you manage to sort your surround rust out ,, ive just nearly put my finger through mine :( i didnt even know mine was rusty , is there a quick repair method - ie fiber glass or something ?? maybe cut out the rusted metal then make a small piece that fits to weld in

mine was done and he did the best job ever, he cut it all out, fabricated the metel to suit and match, welded in and lead lined or somthing... it looks amazing. never know it was rusted....

quick fixes dont last long btw ;)

take windscreen out and cut the infected area than make a cardboard template
of the required panel and get working on the sheet metal .
a decent body shop should be able to knock something up :agree:
