I have a '71 chevy truck. The steel door panels are in very good shape overall. Does anyone know how to replace the Chrome film tape that has peeled off? I see a lot of these trucks running around showing the grey trim beneath the missing tape. I dont want to spend the money to replace the door panels if there is a reasonable fix. Thanks :confused:

Try going to a trim shop and see if they can modify a stripe or a molding to work.
Just a thought,

solution= I found that working aluminum duct tape over the peeled plastic molding worked. I cut full lenght over width strips and maticulously worked each strip on. Once applied I used a razor knife to trim. Surface needs to be extra clean. If I knew how to post pics without a host I would. I am impressed of the results.
