    I removed the stainless outer window reveal moulding on the doors of my 1949 chevy truck in preperation for body work and paint. I am now ready to reinstall the moulding but can't figure out how to do it without completely destroying it. Can anybody advise me on how to proceed before I completely lose my mind, I dont have much left?

    Push it into the corner of the window nearest the part that gets overlaid, making sure it fits tight in the first corner, then work it around the frame. You'll have to bend it slightly to get it into the aperture. If the last leg is a little bent upwards when you are done, it will clamp to the pinch weld tight enough to hold it there. Hope this helps

    Thanks for the info. I’ll give it a try today. My fear is bending it too much and ruining the stainless.

    Got the drivers side installed with only a couple of anxious moments. Thanks for the advice.
