Title: Wanted -- Door Handle Plastic Strips
Post by: TopNotch 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.

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.

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.

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.
