It didn't seem that hard when I removed and put one strip on my 72b before I took it to the body shop - I had to slide it along the pre-existing clips or buttons (whatever they are called). But with

Hey, I used to have one in my 65B (college days) - until it contacted the metal dash (positive ground) one day and then it went up in smoke. (I guess that makes me an old one too). As far as Ed, I me
