flexible chrome strip for coupe hatch?

[mterrens]

Does anyone have any experience with a flexible chrome-colored plastic that
can be used to trim a coupe hatch window? Any products and/or sources to
look at?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve;
    As shown in the attached picture, this is a standard chrome strip for over wheel openings. It is self adhering and was fairly cheap.  But in order to get it to stay I had to first bend and tape it in place (without removing the covering to the sticky back) to get it to stay in that shape.  Then I removed the backing and put it in place.
But the glass had to be prepped with vinyl prep first to make it stay.

Bill,
What is that strip made of?  Metal, or plastic?  How flexible is it?  Is it a "J" shape, or something else?  What product works as a "vinyl prep"?  That's to help the glue I assume?
It looks great!
Steve

What do you mean when you say to vinyl prep? I have my local auto
glass guy looking all over the place to find something to keep the UV
rays from cracking the adhesive.
Thanks,

SEM makes a vinyl prep called #38464 water borne vinyl/plastic prep or #3835
Plastic Prep. As the instructions say on the can, don't use both, just one
or the other.
