The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop Installing chrome lock strip in rear window rubber

You're very welcome. Actually tinnerjohn and I swapped messages about this while the work was ongoing and his input was very helpful also as John has many years of experience at this stuff. I had been hoping for some sort of magic answer...one of those "well if you hold the tool with your left hand and chew gum at the same time" things, but as I feared there were no easy tricks here. As it turned out, the absence of that ridge at the bottom of the strip became my friend in the process. I realize people won't be doing this very often...hopefully, anyway. But hope it helps somebody sometime.
