Interior/Exterior Anyone fited the chromed plastic pollen vents?
Has anyone fitted the chromed plastic bezels or pollen vents? Moss and others sell them. From what I've read they glue on over the black plastic ones. If anyone has them how's the fit? Do you like them?
Thanks for your comments.

Yes, I have installed the chromed plastic vent covers. I bought them from Moss when I couldn't get the stainless mesh ones.
I like them fine, but you have to like big, gaudy chrome. Since they just attach using preinstalled glue strips and a user-applied cleaner/enhancer, they are at a higher level. But not enough to interfer with the wipers.
I cleaned and cleaned and cleaned the black rims with soap and water and then put on the enhancer. Then peeled off the tape from the glue strips and positioned the outside edge and slowly lowered towards the center. Kept presssure for about 30 seconds and then stroked with soft, terry toweling. No problems!!
However, do be careful to keep the enhancer off the paint around the rim. I didn't have any problems, but it seems like you could if you weren't careful.
Sorry; no pics. I have some, but don't know how to attach.
I don't have a URL to store them.
