T3: more Re : fender beading

["Jeff Palmer" <vw_nut@hotmail.com>]

I ordered an uncut role (I think from JC Whitney, they are ok for that 
kind of stuff), it was soft but I found it hard to go around corners and 
when installing you need atleast 2 people to keep the beading from 
falling through the crack or to keep it around the corners until the 
fenders was screwed back in. -- but after it is done it looks alot 
better
