OK - they're fitted (picture to follow hopefully) but BOY what a fiddly job.

Unless you are a COMPLETE stranger to the concept of "cack-handedness" please can I implore you to think very carefully before going the silicon route.

I speak as someone whose driver's door, door handle, window, fingers, shirt and finisher were ALL covered in the thrice bedamned stuff

My own opinion of course, but unless you are completely confident in your own abilities....

Let's just say it took me a solid hour of cleaning and the sufferance of SWMBO's displeasure before I was in a position to start again

Something I found to be useful was to lock the doors first. This enabled me to pull the door handle outwards to its fullest extent and wedge it with a small block of wood without the door popping open and was a great aid to aligning the finishers and getting them into location without the tape instantly catching.

Now they are fitted, I'm as pleased as a dog with more than the standard issue of tails

Cheers Dave - a great project. Thanks again for your tenacity.
