Glad the tip was a hit. It certainly worked well on reinstalling the trim.

I installed the rear bumper and the splash shield yesterday. The splash shield originally came with a rubber trim stapled on it. I haven't had much luck finding a reproduction one, so I bought some vacuum line hose and spilt it longways with a razor. It was easy to install the rubber along the ins and outs of the splash guard edge. It probably won't seal as well as the original, but then I don't drive much on dirt roads anymore. But it does keep the guard from touching the bumper.

Today, I hope to get the the rear seat and the interior door panels back in, It is still snowing here, but we have a two hour drive and picnic scheduled for Sunday when the weather is supposed to cooperate.
