Good Afternoon and Happy V-Day!

Im looking for the same type on U-Channel molding on MNPCTech but cheaper. I've found this: Door Edge Guards In Chrome Or Black For Car, Truck, Van Or Suv its 10$ for 23Ft and 7$ for 10ft, Is this stuff the right kind?

Can I bump for the night crew?

The only automotive door molding I've ever encountered had too big of a gap to be used on computer cases.

10FT for 7$? Do you want it free?

That seems pretty inexpensive to me!


Looks like the right stuff to me.

Sounds like good advice Matt..just go with the stuff from MNPC, it won't let ya down...even if it's a few bucks more, it won't kill ya to suport someone from the "Home Team"

EDIT: Oh..and hope you had a good Valentines day with your lady, I don't wish other guys a "Happy Valentines Day" as a rule...lol

try Mcmaster carr

they got tons in various channel sizes.

It's not cheap but comparing to "door edge mold"
that stuff is cut length, thick and usually has a
bead of silicone in the gutter.

Snagged two sizes of cutter in like 25' lengths
and I dont remember *not* payin' the bill!
Came in just a few days - good folk there

It's a bit late for this post, but I recently bought door edge molding for my Modding On The Cheap project. With a typical steel case panel, the molding fits fine, and the bit of adhesive was more than enough to make it stick, and it sure as heck didn't come off easily once applied.

Here in Canada, I bought it for about $5.00 per pack, and the pack has two 27" strips, which is probably enough for most typical window mods.

And yes it's true, molding doesn't do sharp bends very well. It works fine if the corner is quite rounded, and if you have angled corners, you'll have to cut the molding at appropriate angles to make two adjacent pieces "fit" together. It's probably as cheap as you can go and comes in a variety of colors and styles.

Another tip is to use wire and cut it down one side w/ a razor blade and yank out all the wire and just use the outside part. It comes in different colors and is more flexible. You have round, oval, and the rectangular shapes too.

Yep - works a treat!
I used it here myself:

but have since bought some of the MNPCTech moulding - It's cheap (even shipping it to New Zealand!) and it does the job sooooo much nicer

That seems to work quite well, with the squared wiring anyway. I've tried this with round wires and it's a real pain to get a straight, consistent slit down one side, usually the X-Acto blade tended to slice one way or the other instead of perfectly straight, with the result that the 'wire tube' had a twisted slice. But if you can get the slice perfectly straight, you indeed do have tons of variety and colors to choose from.
