Reading the comments on installing the vinyl roof trim made me think I should post my experience in case it would help someone. My car had a new vinyl roof but the Stainless trim was pretty beat up. Who ever installed it had trimmed the vinyl back a little. The long pieces went on fine. However the windshield pieces refused to go on. The upholstery shop I use said the repro was contoured a bit different from the OEM pieces. I agree. However I was able to get the drivers side on by holding in place with one hand and tapping the edge over the rain gutter with a body hammer with the other hand. Came out fine. Passenger side refused the same treatment. Accordingly I took all the dents out of my OEM piece using a hammer and piece of wood I cut to fit. Next I filed down the high spots then sanded with 220 and consecutively fine grits down to 1500. Then ran if over my buffer. Came out great. Restoring Stainless that is not anodized is pretty simple. I hope this helps someone. Doug
