Here's what I did. I seperated the aluminum piece for the beltline weatherstripping by using my dremel to grind out the attach points. I then took the hockey sticks and had them rechromed for $80. When they got back, I re-attached the weatherstrip aluminum with A/B putty and bought replacement weatherstripping from John's classic cougars...
Most Cougar vendors will sell rechromed hockey sticks (Without the aluminum trim) for 70-80 bucks each.
