Hi Jeff, I love having new seals after paining. Things like the ones that go around the front door handles. Or the rear hatch or slider. Of course you can also clean up door and hatch seals that are in good shape and they will shine again. If my van was freshly painted I’d consider doing the clear or the textured protection along the bottom and cover the seams. Also the clear stuff on the front nose. If doing windows out I’d do no trim seals. If all spiffed up check your pop top seals so they are pretty too. What a wonderful thing to do for your van! Eric Caron

Wondering if anyone has put together a parts list? Will probably be looking for sheet metal too. If not I can get one started - feel free to send tips and tricks for parts often forgotten! > > Thanks > Jeff > > Sent from my iPhone |
