R2W55 Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 I am in the process of buffing all the stainless trim pieces and then came to the front vent window assembly. I have the assembly out and I have removed the actual vent window. Is the channel around the actual glass stainless? looks to be. Is the assembly that the framed glass, stainless or Chrome plated. I think it is Chrome plated. Also, anybody know where I can get the 1/8" flat head rivets to hold the front weather strip in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfg Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 Yes, channel around glass is a low luster stainless steel.....vent window frame itself is chrome plated die -cast (pot) metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R2W55 Posted December 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 Thank you. Just needed it confirmed before trying to buff or polish. There is a LOT of stainless trim to buff out and polish! Unfortunately there are some deep scratches in the chrome. Not going to re-chrome but will try 0000 steel wool and hopefully the shine will hide (detract) the scratches! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Driver Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 Did my wiperblade arms with 0000 steel wool, and they came out great. My shoulder didn't, though. I've also heard that a ScotchBrite pad works wonders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R2W55 Posted December 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 I’m also using a little rubbing compound with the steel wool on the worst scratches. Then polishing compound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
