chrome/SS drip rail molding replacement

[benoit454]

Has anyone here changed their drip rail molding? Not by removing the whole black strip that's bolted to the cab, but the chrome or stainless steel molding that's on it?

I wonder if there's a trick to taking it off without tearing yourself up, or getting the new on without damageing it.

On our new 84 c10 half the driver's side has been torn off somehow, and I looked in LMC and they sell the chrome/SS part by itself. The black that bolts on is called the retainer by them. So I'm wondering if I buy it how easu it will be to change with it on the truck.


I know, I know, I could just get one from a junkyard or another truck and bolt it on, but in order to do that I have to remove my cab visor, and clean the rtv/silicone off and redo all that. Plus I don't like takeing the bolts off and on alot, afraid they'd strip or become enlarged and not hold as good.

I figured someone may have changed only the strip on it before and might know if it slides on or snaps over or whatever.
