1 of 996 Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 My car has been missing this piece for as long as I and the guy before me have owned it. But today I got a "care package" in the mail from jiggity76 and inside was the moulding I have been missing and it is in WHITE. With about 20 minutes of my time disassembling and polishing, it's as close to NOS as a used piece is going to get. Now, a missing key piece to the car is in place.......

1 of 996 Posted November 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 Yeah, unfortunately the flash went off so the picture isn't the greatest but trust me, it looks great on there. After all these years, no more exposed holes in the quarter panel. THANKS MAN! jiggity76 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 of 996 Posted November 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 Disassemble Clean with a tooth brush and good cleaner (I use a really good commercial glass cleaner) Polish with a good polishing (not rubbing) compound (I use 3M Perfect-It products) Brush touch if necessary Wax Reassemble and install An FYI: I have found that the ones with a angle to them (very front and very rear) tend to be difficult to remove the stainless strip and even harder to reinstall. What I do is to grind about 1/32" - 1/16" off the pointed end as well as file the edges smooth. The trim goes in like butter then. jiggity76 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
