Chrome strips around windows
« on: February 11, 2005, 10:31:00 pm »
The chrome or silver strips around my front and rear windows has completely turned bad and I was wondering if you have to use any special tools in order to replace it without bending the new piece.

They are actually rubber with a chrome face.There is a tool for this and you can buy the strip in a roll. The tool is available at most parts stores or glass shops if it breaks a 15 dollar bill I would be surprised. You might even find a glass shop that will sell you part of a roll or as many feet as you need. You will need to reuse the corner pieces from the rear window, and the center piece from the windshield.

Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs
