Guest Anonymous Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 after removing the drip rail strips for paint, it looks like i have broken the tabs that hold them on. the nissan dealer tells me you can't buy just the tabs i'll have to buy the entire strip its chrome or stainless i'm not sure so the question is has anyone had this problem or have any suggestions on how to replace the strips thanks for any help rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denny411 Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 After paint you will have to be VERY carefull when reinstalling the drip rails. They are stainless, and reasonably durable themselves but can easily swing around and posibly scratch your paint if they get away from you. I start at the bottom front and fit the rail into the trim. I them use a medium sized rubber mallet to tap on the trim. Gradually work your way from bottom front to top rear. The clips in mine appeared to be damaged too,but had no problem holding the trim securely in place. If you decide to get different drip rail trim. Let me know, I`ve got two or three good sets in the attic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest riggerjack Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 ok you've both removed the drip rails, do you think i could get away with shaving them off permenently? it looks good on camaros- i'd like to do it to my 260z but i don't want rain in the wrong places.
