Porter's book on B restoration says you must not try to pry the chrome
from the old, presumably stiffened, rubber. You have to cut the rubber
around it or you'll destroy the chrome. Then he says you put the new
rubber in, and it is comparatively easy to reinsert the chrome in the
soft new rubber. I gather your friend wants to put new molding in the
old rubber; Porter does not deal with that.
