Subject:Re: Fix - Gutter trim stripping off

I'm curious if this isn't some kind of generic "trim" that can be had
from a local hardware or home reno shop? Seems to me I've seen it as
edging on something other than a Vanagon

If available in long lengths, someone could buy a bunch and sell it
pre cut for half the price!

;^)

(not knocking your info Todd, just having fun with the concept, and
looking to see if it couldn't be had for less at a common retail
store..... though I already have my strips!)

I've found "GOOP" to be a great adhesive for some things. Sure fixed
up the front grille real nice. (looks ok ONLY at a running gallop)

So what's the deal with the strip on the front gutter along windshield?

Does it actually do something?

I had found a couple on a parts van recently......but there aren't any
on mine....yet.

Neil.
