I’m missing all 4 drip rail/rain gutter finishers on my d2. They go for about $90 each on eBay/and I’m guessing it’ll be tough pulling this off a junkyard car (glued?). Is there a better/cheaper source?

Has anyone attempted 3D printing these, I’ve found a thread with the model. I’m not going to spend 300+ on plastic trim, so hopefully there’s a cheaper route.

Some useful info here, but looking for someone who’s successfully mounted some 3d printed ones on their d2.

 

I think they're easy to remove, my friend pulled them off my parts truck in a few mins.

 

As Jacob mentioned... easy to remove. Bit of a pain getting them back under the A-pillar cover but it's doable. Plus add sealant around it to stop leaks (I had to do this).
Check your local recycle/auto junk yard for them... $2 a piece..

 

great - time to visit the junkyard

 

The old ones will have hard, brittle plastic and you'll probably break them off. You can get them 3-D printed, as models exist. I bought mine for $90, warmed them up with a hair dryer and put them on when it was warm outside.

3D printed those finishers from here with great success.

 

I pulled mine off, taped them off and spayed them with black flexiseal.

 

​​​​​​​Exactly what I was looking for. Mind sharing some info about the process.

1. Did you spray them with a primer spray paint to get a smooth finish?
2. What print settings did you use?
3. pla or abs?

 

Do you have a picture? Happy with how it looks?
