[W126 Coupe] O/T Boat Q

[Paul Samarin]

Well, now that I've discovered its name (gunnel), I've had some success 
in Googling possible replacement options.  So far, I'm leaning towards 
a polypropelene (or similar) piece that will just install right over 
the top of it, hiding it completely.

So far, that's ahead of the bondo idea--thanks, though, every idea is 
worth considering IMO.
