Has anyone had any experience replacing the drip rails over the doors and/or over the windshield. From what I understand, the rails over the doors are now available, windshield section soon (vendors, any updates?).

Just wondering if anyone has installed the replacement pieces, what's involved, any tips, etc.

Any info is appreciated.

Thanks.

We have L7 R drip rails , no word on the windshield section yet. On replacing the side ones you just drill out the spot welds on old set once you drill them all and have all seam sealer removed they will drop off the cab. If you have a spot welder spot weld them back, if not drill 1/8"-3/16 holes in each piece along the length of them then place the drip rails in place and using a welder weld the holes and then grind them smooth to create spot welds.
