Aim: To make your old and worn out door window strip, look new again.



Time: 10 minutes y0!

Required:
1x Scissor
1x Screw Driver
1x Roll of Cloth Tape (BLACK)




Info: Well I was bored and remembered that Chris (Chris_F) did this to his car, to hide the chrome bling… so I thought it was a good idea to give it a crack and see if it can make my door strip look clean and new again. So I popped down to my local Autobarn where I grabbed some Cloth Tape, which only cost $7/8 bucks. Well enough with the chit chat and lets get going with this poor mans door revival DIY style.

Step 1:
Open up your door and inside the door you will see 3 screws (EG HATCHBACK)… undo these three screws… and make sure you put them in your pocket or else you could spend quite a bit of time crawling on the grass looking for it.






Step 2:
Now once you finished unscrewing those three little screws, remove this plastic piece.. once that plastic piece is out, lift up the door/window strip and take it out *Caution* be careful when you remove it, because theres these little plastic clips that can easily break off.






Step 3:
Find yourself a nice little green patch of grass to sit your arse upon, and lay the strip on your lap… whip out the tape and slowly place it on the strip and make sure that its lined up… use your spare finger to press down the tape as you go, so it doesn’t lift up.. once the tape is on… cut off any excess tape on the edges… woot!





Step 4:
Put the strip back into the hole, once again be careful of the clips and make sure that they line up with its allocated hole. Once the strip is on, place the plastic cover back on, and screw those 3 screws back in and place and WAAALLLAHHH!!





Stand back and enjoy your new looking door strips!!!




Wasn’t that easy and cheap?? Why go and spend big bucks on replacing them, or spending time sanding them down and re-spraying them, only to get the paint peel again. Now if your after a even bigger bargain, why not get a few friends who has the same problem and get everyone to chip in for the tape! LOL… I have basically a whole role left… since it doesn’t take much tape, unless you keep screwing up and re-doing it.*which you wont*

Thanks for reading guys.
