Hey Larry, I don't think there is an easy way to get the trim in while the windows are still in. If you pop them out, then the trim goes in easy, and then you reinstall the window. Removing/installing windows is not difficult, and actually pretty quick to do. Stripped drain plug. Yes, replace. Either get a time-sert to install or go bigger with a 3/8 pipe plug. Z PS. No condolences...my wife if from KC! --- Larry Himli <lhimli@MSN.COM> wrote: > The trim around my windows was very brittle and > discolored so I ordered all > new chrome painted plastic trim and was excited > about how nice it would > dress up the Westy.
