Drip Rails

[mpro69rr]

Hey Guys!

1969 RR 383. When I install the drip rails do I need a small amount of RTV on the car before installing? What's a good way to install without ruining or bending?

Thanks!

I assume you are talking about trim installation, so I would do it dry and carefully/slowly by hand with the assistance of a rubber mallet if necessary. If you need it, some soapy water for lubricant.

Thanks, yes I'm talking about the trim. So no RTV, I always thought you had to seal it.

The drip rail itself must be seam sealed. Usually before painting.

They should pretty much just snap right into place by running your hand down them. Start at one end and work along..
