Roof Drip trim

Post by LittleC »

The drip trim on the roof of my '95 850 turbo is cracked and peeling. I have tried different quick fixes, none have really worked. I have one side down to the aluminumwhile still on the car. was wating to remove them however I am concerned about bending them. They do not seem to want to come off too easily. Any tips! I have priced new one they are about $140 a side. What is up with that???

Remove all the black crap down to the metal on both sides, mask off, scuff and paint them flat or semi gloss black, whatever you want
If done properly it will last
Don't bother removing them
