chrome lock strip
My build is a little over 5 years old and the chrome locking strip on the windshield is rusting. Looks like it comes with the weather striping, can I get it by itself somewhere?
thanks

Re: chrome lock strip
Yes you can change that strip out. It will pull out, and then you’ll have to install the new strip. I replaced mine. Just remember to pull the protective film off when your done. I have seen where that is what is all sun baked. People forget to pull the film off, and that is what is actually all sunbaked and looks like rust.

Re: chrome lock strip
Thanks for that tip TCKR. Wonder if that's my problem. The "chrome" trim strip around the windshield is almost the same color as my truck now.

Re: chrome lock strip
Can you peal the coating off after installed? I think that may be my problem

I think I at least got it started, and then peeled it after the strip was installed. Cant really remember, that was about 8 years ago.

Re: chrome lock strip
Where can I get the chrome lock strip? Classic Industries, LMC? Or is it a specialty item?
Thanks |

Re: chrome lock strip
What Bandit said, LMC. I’m pretty sure that’s where I got mine.
