Tim,

I'm sorry I can't help you with what you have but just as a warning, I took the two front corner window guides off my S1 and had then chromed. When the plater started to strip them they started to fall apart. He immediately stopped and just continued plating them but they really look like crap now. I don't know if it was just my plater or if that happens all the time but just a word of caution.

By the way I am continually searching for a good pair (anybody out there?)
