Wanted -- Door Handle Plastic Strips
« on: September 19, 2016, 11:12:38 am »
I need a couple of plastic door handle strips. If you don't know what I'm talking about, here's a picture:

These strips are held on with some kind of adhesive, and can be peeled off. If you have a junk Fiero laying around with decent handle strips on it, I would appreciate it if you could peel them off and send them to me. I'll pay you a few bucks if you want. PM me, and I'll send you my address. You can drop the strips into an envelope, put on a stamp, and mail them.
Edit: I don't know if all Fieros had the strips, and the replacement handles the Fiero store sells don't appear to have the strips, at least in their picture.

I just found out Rodney Dickman has these, and I ordered a pair.

It turns out I still need the strips. What Rodney sells is just decals to go on the strips. BUMMER!

I never looked closely enough to know their are strips in the handles.  The very next day after i saw this post, mine started to curl up!  Doh!

You can't fix stupid but, you can adjust it with a 2x4.

What is used to hold the plastic strips on the handles?

Some kind of gunk on the originally mounted ones. 3M double stick tape on mine. And if you remember my car from the 35th, you know I eventually got some.

For things like the door handle strip and other interior vinyl separations, I've been wondering if this Flex Seal tape and adhesives would work.  I started to buy a 5 foot roll of 4 inch wide tape, but it was $12.  It comes in Black, Gray, or Clear.  I never thought to check to see if it was double side or single side adhesive.

3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

Honestly, while I remember your car just fine, and remember seeing your door handles, I don't remember anything else about the handles, at the moment.  Someone had strips on their handles that looked as if the strips had been cut from something else.  I don't remember what, at the moment, but it will come to me.

It would seem that either the adhesion would fail, or that the paint would come off the handle.
