Door bezels for Gen I Vipers, how to keep them from falling off

[MannyG]

They are the plastic pieces that are installed around the inside door handles. Anyone have any ideas ? I bought new ones and they are still difficult to install. They keep falling off.

I took them off completely. POS plastic.
I have seen some nice aluminum bezels, at least Zero Altitude Flight sells them.

I have some of those aluminum bezels for sale, PM me if interested. The reason they are falling off is that the tangs or hooks have broken from the back of the bezel. There is a large screw behind the bezel holding part of the door panel, I drilled a hole directly where that screw is on the bezel and used that screw to hold it im place.

 

[MannyG]

Great idea. I'll use that screw to hold mine in place, also.

i hate those things. They used to fall off mine all the time. dodge creamed me on the price and that was years ago.
How much do the charge for them now?

double sided tape?

 

[MannyG]

They are disgustingly expensive . Over $140 dollars each.

My aluminum bezels are gone, but the screw method worked well for me. Good luck on yours Manny, post how it worked out for ya,

 

[MannyG]

The screw method rocks. It worked very well.

I've had this problem too. Isn't the screw visible when you do this though?
