rain gutter trim success

[BLUNT]

that wasnt so bad. ive been sweating this install from everything ive been reading. i have a sore fist but it went on fairly easy with no damage. looks nice. i tried to follow john weese's advice but ended up doing it differently. i lined it up like john suggested so that it was spaced properly and then started in the back and worked forward.

in my case also. Hoping to install my quarter glass trim and the assemblies this Sat.

nice, i did the beltline and the big dollar horizontal door trim last night at 2am. wow once you get all this new trim on it really transforms the car.

That big trim by the door window is a tough one isn't it? Pluss, they are so expensive and you only get one try. I cut a piece of popler (1x4) the same length and used a hammer to put it on.

.. down the length of the wood piece (nice straight yellow pine in my case) until the trim is completely seated.

Glad you were successful Blunt! :-) The way you did it is fine, I just always feared that I wouldn't start in the right spot (if starting at the rear)and end up too long or short on the front where the bend is at the "A" Pillar. So, I start in the front....once past the "bend" it's all down hill anyway.

Sore hands are a common side effect! :-)

Take Care,

I put mine on and it was a pain, but what during reassembly isn't. I had to use a rubber mallet in some places to get my gutter trim to fit tight, and now it holds good, although I had to get a little rough with it and bend it back into place as I went along. Now I need the corner join pieces for the front hood and back trunk to finish it out. The door trim went on pretty easy, but the rockers were a pain and I had to get a little rough with it as well. I hope everything stays put OK, but it looks way better with the trim on. More finished look. I'll have to shoot new file pics when the chrome is on.
