I can get them on…but do they STAY on? I have a feeling that they are not close enough to the originals.
I have a bag of spares that I’m always dipping into because they like to disappear down behind the quarter panel upholstery.

They also seem to last only a couple years before beginning to tear/disintegrate.  Contact cement doesn’t work very well to hold them in place.
