Morris Mini Cooper S - Body Side & Wheel Seam Trim Chrome EP037 

I’m getting ready to re-install my new trim. The last time I installed this trim was 25 years ago on my Mini. I also have Group 2 arches, that make for some interesting compound curves. Once fitted, I will secure with a few small screws. Good for another 25 years.....and probably won’t be my problem next time.....damn it. 😮😑🇨🇦

It goes on the other way round using the natural curve of the roll on the tight corners and going against the curve on the arch curve no rivets ever needed

I'm about to do mine but I have been recommended to use the natural curve of the strip in the tight curves and shape it around the arches the opposite way if you get what I mean. In your video you used the natural curve for the arches and the opposite way for the tight curves.

You don't really need any rivets. Mine has been 3 years now in place without any. Just heat and patience. Do not use water either because it will tend to become yelowish in time.

nice job - quarterlights on your car ? was that on all imported minis for your country ?

Dont plug the holes, they let water out.

BTW; It helps if you put the trim into hot water, prior to fitting. This works better than just locally heating it on the outside w/ a heat gun

Nice work. Can you send me a link to where you bought the chrome moulding trim? I can't seem to find trim wide enough for my mini.

Good work mate. I'm currently nearing completion on my 1963 cooper s replica. Where in Nsw are you

Yesterday I tried putting on the very same moulding strip you put on in this video and found it went on great over the wheel arches but when you got to the base of the arch and hit the next sharp curve before the straight stretch it kinked. I was using a heat gun but still no joy. I couldn't understand how you riveted the strip to the seam without the rivet going right through the strip and coming out the top.?? Wondering whether I'm going to have to resort to wheel arches to avoid the problem.
