I was working on installing the door handles recently and polishing up the stainless trim along the top of the door. I noticed that the clips for the stainless that I have and the original clips were significantly different. I may not be able to make these work.
As they are now the new clips will touch the glass. If I cut them down I may not be able to get them into the holes. I'll figure it out, it is just another hic-up.
Does anyone have any tips on polishing the flat areas of the grill?
The fronts of the grill polish up great but the flay areas are a pain. I have about 3 hours on them now and very little progress. I have been using an assortment of steelwool grits and the flat areas are just not getting much better.
