   My car was literally attacked by monkeys today! My girlfriend and I went to Longleat safari park in Bath, and if you don't know it you can drive your car around through the animal enclosures.
   I removed the 3ft standard saxo aerial, but everything else seemed monkey proof. Halfway round we were proved wrong when this monkey pulled the rubber roof gutter strip (if thats what its called) off! All the other cars seemed to find it funny, this bloody monkey walking round with a 5 ft piece of rubber from my car, the only problem is where do I get a replacement? Any ideas?
   
   Wouldn't have minded if he snapped my rear wiper off, I was going to dewiper anyway!
   Cheers
   Alex

    A monkey stole a car part lmao
    
    You would never catch me going in a drive thru safari park with my car.
    
    A little tip when replacing it mate (As i have removed mine)
    
    They NEVER go back to how they are supposed to be.
    
    You'll think its in nice and snug till you get to 80MPH and you hear it flapping around. A little dab of super glue or silicone at the front of the strip, above the windscreen holds it nicely in place.

    +1, Loctite silicone glue does wonders when you apply it properly.
