IF and that's a big IF you can find good original trims the ONLY surefire way of saving them without bending them is to cut the rubber.
Once they're twisted or bent it's pretty difficult to get them back into some sort of useable condition.

I get this a lot at my work, I do a fair bit of classic work i.e. old Jaguars,MGs etc.
Well meaning customers tell you ,OH I've got the original trims,only for me to get there and find them bent up like a pretzel!!
I can't comment on the repro AD trims but I do know the aftermarket Jag trims are garbage.(Chrome plated bean cans!) :mad: Unlike the originals which are Stainless.

I'd be interested if others could comment on the New AD trims if they've used them.. I need a set of them myself.
