#1 How to put on the lower chrome list

Post by Springer » Tue Feb 04, 2014 8:52 pm

How do I fix the lower chrome list? Is it glued or do I simply bend it and fix it with some small screws in the ends and cover it with the screen side finisher. It seems hard to ensure it is tight to the rubber seal.

I am attempting exactly the Same task and have arrived at the view that the strip should be bonded to the rubber and clamped in position to hold fast. Then the A post strip can be tucked under the screen rubber and part bonded also. Hope this helps.

Not sure I understand. Do you mean that I should take the chrome list and try to bend it over the rubber list so ii is hooked on the rubber top and bottom to avoid it slips the rubber? I tried to Google a A post strip but that didn't bring up anything useful so can you please describe for a lost foreigner what that is? Any Pictures?
