I just put in new chrome moldings on my 85 Westy. The fronts and rears are easy if you remove them from the van. The sides with the slider-windows are a pain in the ass.....their too tight ( pardon the pun) ......I would reccommend just using a tool ( I think Terry mentioned KD to install the new strips. Make sure you get the flat ones. I just found out that I got 4 rounded chrome beads.....Same old story different day. No big deal you will just have to make sure the clips you get are also round, the old flat clips do not work with the rounded moldings. Parallel Universe Malibu Tony 85' Westy........ |
