Considering the havoc that was created by to the original holes in the sail panel for the chrome trim, I'd really rather not go that route again, but I do like the looks of the vinyl and chrome trim.. Are there any alternatives out there?

I had the same fear to, did not want to drill the holes for the thin horizontal chrome trim.
I bent the trim slightly convex so that the ends would not touch the panel only the middle would . Then i bent in and fixed the trim with one pop rivet (2,5mm in dia) at each end only, one rivet vent under the rear trim and the other inside the door post. Thanks to the trim being convex the rest of it keeps close to the panel without any tape. /Lars S |
