driving down the motorway, and the plastic strips that enclose the glass (front and back) and goes along the lenght of the car, came off bending in many places, any ideas what they are called and where to purchase them from.

 

Hi,
I had the same problem when doing 'Ahem' speed on the motorway.
If it's a classic Subaru then the part No's are:

Strip (n/s):91012fa010 -:Quantity=1 -:Price=£44.87
Centre moulding clip:91017fa030 -:Quantity=6 -:Price= 76p each
Rear pillar clip:9017fa020 -:Quantity=4 -:Price= 76p each
Clip:91017fa010 -:Qunatity=4:Price= 76p each

Those prices are RETAIL from Subaru,i got 5% discount on those prices,
but only by ASKING.
