The stuff I was recommended to use and did use was 3M Drip-Check sealer. If you are talking about getting the chrome off, there is a tool to do it or you can get one of the cheap bottle openers and wrap the blunt end with electrical tape and slow pry along it.------------------

Tim,
You got it.  Now if you could just give us the winning lotto numbers,  Thunder,
If you can't get the tool to remove the drip rails, use an old bottle openers, a small block of wood and some electrical tape. You will have to take your time and start at one end of the rail and slowly work your way to the other end. It is a pita, but it can be done.  Dave & Terri ------------------
