    Hi,
    Looking for a nice set of the 43 1/8 inch long stainless steel trim that goes on the bottom of the front door panel above the carpet section.

    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hi Dave,
    There isn't really a L and R is their? Very interested in what you may have and also a confirmation that a 69 400 only has one strip on each panel.

    Thanks, Cole.

    Cheers,
    Mike

    There is no left or right for the chrome pieces.

    There are 2 different chrome pieces for the 69 deluxe/custom interiors, one for the carpet-vinyl separation and the other runs a few inches down from the top.

    I believe they are different lengths but again there is no left or right for them.

    Generally the lower chrome pieces are scratched up due to use, but they can be buffed out if needed.

    Tough item for sure. The steel back to the stainless steel rusts and the bend over tabs fail or disappear. The bottom (longer) is much more prone to this, especially on the installed forward side and they end up getting bent because they aren't secure. I purchased 3 sets of door panels before I found 2 - bought them off Mike G IIRC (thanks Mike!) @ BG.

    I attempted trying to partially swap the metal backing with a good shorter one, with absolutely no luck.
