I'm looking for help on re-installing the black rubber trim on a front deluxe bumper molding. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

This is going to sound crazy, but it works. If you do not have the rubber, Home Depot sells 3/4" underground irrigation pipe which works great. It is black plastic, a little overly shiny, but only the true purist would notice. All you do is split a section longitudinally, warm it up with a heat gun and stick it in the slot. A little more heat to properly shape it, and you are done. I used it on my '67 Deluxe three years ago. So far it has performed well. It only cost about $4.00. How many other Deluxe parts are that cheap!
