Door edge guard molding Q
I want to install a nice NOS pair of door edge guards on my Esprit. Is there a guaranteed way to snap them on without chipping the paint? I'm imagining that 44 year old lacquer is about as brittle as it can be.

I think this is a one way street...
I purchased an NOS set for #202. I gently used a flat blade screw driver to slightly open them up until they slid on the doors. Good luck! Jim |

Coating the portion of the door the molding will slide over with Vaseline will help.

When working at the Pontiac dealership and the low man ( youngest) on the totem pole, I got "gifted" this cheap option often offered to customers by sales as a freebie ( only 3-4 bucks when new) . I hated it then, hate it now. I would use a putty knife to slightly spread them and some waterproof grease in the grove. I scratched a few cars when new... good luck...
