Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion

The only advantage (other than cost) of used w strips is the fact that they have shrunk. If you do buy new strips make sure you put them in long. By this I mean really compress it in along the bottom lengthwise to make up for the inch or so that is going to shrink out. The advantage with the self retaining strip is it can be repositioned to make up for radius bridging by shrinkage over time if you allow for it.
