Chrome trim

What is the chrome trim called that runs front to back on the fenders and running boards? My 94 Falcon needs it bad, but I don't remember the name or where to find it. Thanks for any help all of you can provide.

  • It _may_ be (or be similar to) what's commonly known as 'door edge trim'. Try driving the van (so you can show them what you mean) to a big-box auto parts store (NAPA, or similar) and asking one of the older countermen to take a look at what you have now.

  • It's the shiny trim attached to the fiberglass running boards and fender flairs. It appears to be a vinyl material that is held in place by friction. After 20 years, it's shrunk and has pulled away from the fender flairs.

    Thanks for the input. I'll try searching Amazon for 'bright work'

  • Does it appear to be something that came originally on the van, or something added by the RV maker?
