Ok, I need help with the name, and part numbers for the top aluminum trim on my 300 td. What I need is the black rubber strip that runs along the entire two pieces of aluminum trim. The strip has an internal strip of aluminum and snaps down. Onto the 2 pieces. One of mine was damanged butch both are quite aged and should be replaced when i put the trim back on after painting.

... wait...
you were able to successfully remove the aluminum strip from the drip edge of the wagon?
HOW did you do it without damage?

"as I ride with my a/c on... I have fond memories of sweaty oily saturdays and spewing R12 into the air. THANKS for all you do!

My drivers:
1987 190D 2.5Turbo
1987 560SL convertible
1987 190D 2.5-5SPEED!!!

1987 300TD
2005 Dodge Sprinter 2500 158"WB
1994GMC 2500 6.5Turbo truck... I had to put the ladder somewhere!

It was simple... I used a triangle block of wood and a hammer to tap it up until it released from the lip. There are of course the 3 screws you need to take out of the from of the trip pieces. The issue is the black plastic strip... Since its old its almost impossible to remove in one piece... I got the pass side off with no issue but the drivers side was already to far damaged to be able to save. other than that, I got all pieces off without damage in about 15 minutes... I found that starting from the front, above the doors seemed to be the best starting spot, then just tapped away along the whole trim until I reached the back. As for the final separate piece at the rear... If you get the top of it started, then take a flat screw driver and give it a good couple wacks backwards it pops right off.

If I can't find the piece I need, maybe I'll come your way again and get it off your wagon (or just grab the whole wagon cause I still want that ac system!) plus I need to have a couple rear end boots replaced... 2 full sets. Both my 85's

Btw, did you see in my other post that my pass mirror is manual? Just like the drivers mirror only backwards?
