The outer door skins on the 84 have three christmas trees to hold the top of the door to the skin. i can't get my christmas trees back in, but i can see them starting into the hole because the dew wipe is off . i have put a lot of pressure on them including a vice grip but to no avail. What am i missing here?

Astronomy says we will find a coded signal from outer space. Then we'll KNOW that life exists there, for coded signals aren't by chance.

Biology says there are coded genetic signals in every cell, but we KNOW that no intelligence created life.

I'm the original owner of a white ' 84 2M4 purchased Dec 10, 1983 from Pontiac. Always garaged, no rust, 4-wheel drifts are fun!

They are not as soft as they used to be.....I think you have 2 options:

1. get new parts that match.....may be available at a body shop supply store near you.
2. Boil the parts.....or at least get them hot and see if they are more bendy.
