Hi guys,

I just bought a 1974 142 and the trim between the bumper and the body has shrunk by about two inches along it's length. Is there a way to safely and successfully stretch it it back again, or do I have to source a replacement?

Thanks!

Rob

I got new ones for mine. They are not easy to come by as those bumpers are unique to 1974 140 and 164.
