<VV> Chrome lining

[Rick Norris]

Experience is the best teacher here. I have removed the drip rail trim and 
reinstalled it several times.
Patience and going about it slowly is a key. It comes off easily using a 
piece of 1" x 2" x 8" oak or other hard wood. Place it against the lip on 
the bottom edge and tap while moving the stick along the edge. 
Reinstallation is more difficult. I roll it on from top to bottom with my 
hands working in small increments.I do use a small soft mallet to help seat 
it but, it is real easy to dent it.
I messed up a few pieces and had to rework them but, I have had great 
success on my cars.
