Need tips on straightening door panel plastic garish molding?
The long black plastic garnish moldings at the top of my door panels are warped and bend upward looking really bad, does anyone have ideas how to straighten them out?
I took and clamped a long board to the insde of garnish molding and clamped them down to my coffe table to straighten them and heated them with a heat gun, but they did not straighten out. I suspect either I didn't heat them up enough, or need to put more of a reverse flex bend to them to get them to take shape.
Anybody know anything about this or how to go about straightening them out?
