Thanks for that advice, yes I read about that but wasn't sure after looking into the groove of mine, as it looks so permanent. I will certainly get some of that tape. But seems a shame to remove the liner that is in there, it looks in such good condition, as if it's a permanent part! Must be good stuff.
Don't forget though that these are stainless -100%. You can get some 800 wet 'n dry paper (always use with water though) and then 1200 and remove the marks or small scratches in it, then polish with metal polish. That can't be done with chrome. The vent window holders as you say (lower) are chrome yes, along with the angled part of the window frame but the upright part (where the door glass slides) is polished stainless steel. Sometimes you can see the slight colour difference where they meet at the top. So it's a mix of metals.
Here in Australia, on these Valiant Hardtops, which are pretty much the Dodge 68-70 Darts, most people call the windscreen and rear window surrounds "chrome" and when you tell them it's stainless steel, they look at you funny or as if you don't know what you're talking about. Yes looks like chrome but isn't. World of difference. Bumpers are chrome and some other smaller parts but actually most other shiny silver stuff on these cars is stainless, and also some body trim is also anodised aluminium. Had a windscreen fitted a few days ago and while he was doing his thing, I was polishing the windscreen surrounds with AutoSol. Even the windscreen installer was calling them chrome! So that shows the extent of people's understanding.
Sorry for the lesson, just thought I would mention it.
