I have nice Sail Panels but the retainers are rusted out. Where can I get a set of just the metal retainer strips? I have looked everywhere. LMC, Golden State, Classic Parts, Bob's, Ecklers........HELP!

I used two sheet metal screws instead of the strip. Install them on the cab, back them off such that the head of the screw has a gap between it and the cab, slide the trim into place under the head.

Nobody will ever know the difference... except you. thumbs_up

Joe, if you have the original, you could trying cutting out a copy from sheet metal, it not has hard as you think, a dremel tool would be needed, I've been tempted to do a few to see if I can get it set up.
