Polishing Trim

For the drip rail trim I could not save the original and most of the used stuff I found was pretty bent up so I ordered the kit from YO and thought I would give it a shot. The trim was pretty nice but a bit thinner than the original stuff.

There was a fair amount of overspray of the vinyl top glue on the drip rail so that had to be carefully removed with a little thinner.

The trick to getting the rear of the drip rail trim tight is to make sure the window trim and corner piece fit tight to the rail.

Here you can see the stainless trim from the window needs to move up a bit to avoid a bump in the drip rail that would mis-align the trim.

All you need to do is snap the trim working from the roof down toward the window. I like to use a rag to soften the pressure from my hands to avoid any bends. Just start at the back and work your way forward trying to avoid and hammering blows that could damage the trim.

After the big piece is on push the front piece on using the same method then snap the corner bracket on. The corner brackets that came with kit did not impress me so I used a pair or original ones I had and they locked in much tighter.
