        I clamped it to temp. stop the leak to the interior, until I can
        fix it. I wish there is paint on my pan.....alot of crust and crap
        that readily sucked some of it up.

        They might of been chrome @ one time.....but I looked and there
        isnt even a minute speck of it left. Im pretty sure they are grey.
        Kind of a medium to darkish grey, I think.
        And thay are plastic, with the characteristic fine cracks. They are in
        good shape, except the pass. side has a paper clip holding the hinge
        together. They screw down to hold the window open, and the arms(?)
        are chrome. They look like they've been there since the car was new.
        Any ideas??
