[DeTomaso] Early Bumper Gasket source

[Mark Charlton]

Those are viable ideas Michael, EXCEPT that I'm looking for something that is as small as the originals. The door edge guard is almost twice as large (most need to wrap three layers of sheet metal so it's understandable).

I'm sure there will be some trim (probably used in a non-automotive application) that will turn out to be perfect. I was just hoping that someone had already discovered a perfect replacement.

Thanks!

Just fit it on, get to a bend area, heat it to the almost "melty" stage, form it around the curvature,  spray it with cold water to set the shape, then move on to the next straight or curved area.
