Hints and tips for waist line trim (per metre)

Instructions for waistline fitting. Remove the old trim. This should be simply a matter of pulling. Be a little careful, sometimes it is possible some repaired sections might come away with the trim. Paint can also come off, if it was done poorly last time. Clean off the remains of any old adhesive. In the case of the door sections, make sure the carrier strips are secure and in one piece. These are often held to the doors with small self tapping screws which can go rusty creating a lump in the trim. You should consider replacing these with the currently recommended countersunk pop-rivets, SJ075W0011. Sand the vertical face of the body lip with course sand paper. The new trim is made soft and workable with a heat-gun. It will melt or burn, if you get it too hot. Put a section on the car and then gently shape and push on to the lip. Secure with lots of strips of masking tape. Do not pull these too tight, they can cause dents in the finished trim. You need to use a lot of the strips of tape. Do not stretch the trim as you apply it. Over the years that it will last, it will shrink, it will also shrink a little as it cools, so do not stretch it now. On the Esprit S1 & 2 the front wing section needs to be trimmed in thickness so it sits flatter against the body as it goes under the front bumper. Do not attempt to join any section of trim, it will not work! When you have the complete car covered, and the ends trimmed, slightly too long, leave the car overnight to cool. Gently take the trim off and you will find it will stay in the correct shape. With a small piece of left-over trim, gauge how much of the Polyurethane adhesive SJ075B0007 to put into the groove of the trim. This will vary as the size and depth of the lip does change. You need enough to touch the flat face of the body which you sanded earlier but not so much as it comes out. Apply adhesive in the groove of each section of trim and attach to the car. Check as you go, that the glue is making contact to the flat face of the body as planned. Hold each piece in place on the car with lots of tape as before. When you are happy, leave over-night to set. Remove all the tape and trim the ends at the required angle. Theses are around 30 degrees, except for the front of the doors, which need around 60 degrees. Fill the open holes in the ends with more adhesive and smooth off. Steve Roberts
