Soapy water for lube. Works like a charm, can almost slide it on by hand.

I felt like a real champion when I discovered how easy it was to mount the rubber strip on the rear bumper of my son's 1985 300D. Just whack it with a mallet the length of the rubber and the strip pops into place on the steel flange of the bumper. On my late111 coupe, however, I had no such luck and had to laboriously lube and thread the rubber the length of the bumper. When I tried to bash it into place it just made the car vibrate and had no effect. Is there a shortcut? Both the 123 and 111 or 108/109 rubber strips are similar in that they are designed to inerlock with the steel part of the bumper... 1983 300TD 1970 280SE 3.5 W111
