See if you can find generic weather stripping at an auto store or at home depot. Then superglue/rivet/affix to your aluminum strip. A left-field idea would be to see if you can find a different vehicle with the same wether-stripping length, and see if you can retrofit said weatherstripping onto your vx.

Agreed. I am sure there is a some model of GM that uses t he same piece. This is turning out harder than I though it would. The devil is always in the details! LOL! Oh, btw, stay away from Flex Seal! I am stil cleaning this stuff off of my hands! LOL!

Spent last night getting the vinyl wrap off, now that's the sun is up, time for pics! (Status pic on post #1 updated)

Those are the glue residue left behind after the wrap was removed. It is seriously all over the VX. The only way to keep the vinyl from breaking into a billion tiny pieces was to get it so hot that it nearly melted and pull as fast as I could. Unfortunately this glue was left behind no matter what I did. Impact areas (front of hood, front of roof, etc...) seemed as thgough the wrap was imbedded in the paint. Spent enormous amounts of time working spots of vinyl about the size of a ball on a ball-point pen. Time for acetone!

I work nights, and my wife has had a friend staying with us for the last few days, so I am hoping to be able to get plates on the VX tomorrow.
