    Hello All,

    I am in need of aftermarket trim with the below profile with a chrome finish. Similar in profile to door-edge guard.

    Although it is for my Jeep, I'm thinking any trim with this profile would work. Help?

    Thanks!

    Hi There:

    I removed the old dip rail trim off my dad's 86 Buick Estate Wagon and could measure it for you to see how close the dimensions are. I have all six pieces available (3 pieces per side) if you are seriously interested. I think they could be shipped in a long tube, but that would be up to you on how much you want to pay for shipping. No bends of creases in the stainless, but they would need to be buffed out and some paint overspray on the B pillar pieces removed.

    Let me know if you want me to measure these and sanp a photo or two. Then, we could talk price for everything.

    Thanks,

    Ted, Chicago

    Sure! To start... The two long/straight pieces are approximately 90" long. Yours? Thanks! Crist

    Hi there:

    I have not measured them, but I can definitely tell you for sure, they are not 90 inches. The drip rails on the estate wagon go up the front A pillar, then straght back to the B pillar and then down the B pillar to the rear door edge. I would estimate the top of the drip rail to be no more than 4 1/2 to 5 feet long. Sorry, but if you are looking for a piece 90 inches long, these are not for you. :(
