You really need to have another look at your moulds. They are not one piece with the mould. They are doublesided taped inside a groove with the ends tucked in. If I still had my 'L i'd prove it to you. Earlier models NA-NC they were one piece. So you can replace the chrome strip as I have posted earlier. oh yeah ur right dont need to prove it..... i dont know what i was thinking. yep u can take that old strip out and replace with the new strip. |

Most Auto Parts stores like Autobarn, Bursons or Repco will sell chrome strip in rolls. However you need a sample of the existing strip to get the right size.

Thats because you were buying the whole moulding. The chrome strip is not that dear.

I had genuine Ford chrome strips on my Fairmont front/back bars but changed to XR font/back and used the cheaper ones from Ebay.
Cannot tell the difference and a lot cheaper - $32.00. Exactly the same 'D' shape as the original - probably made at the same factory!!!!
