The strips are NLA and have been for years. Removing them exposes not bare metal but metal painted in the body color, which actually looks quite nice in most instances. -D > On Nov 7, 2019, at 3:52 PM, Kevin Kraly via Mercedes > wrote: > > A previous owner of my 1982 240D made the decision

Thank you for your input. Your suggestion is very similar to that of Curley and I am being convinced that it is likely a good idea to do diagonals over the full length of the porch rather than just from the end to the middle going each way. Randy On 06/11/2019 8:36 PM, MG via Mercedes wrote:
