      I have 3D mock up done, and given to a local guy to quote and get me sample extrusions for stainless steel. Praying it is not out of this world expensive.
      I'm even working on recreating the corner piece. No promises on that either.

      I also contacted wagoneerwest and got some info, I emailed back to see if their's is one long piece for top and small front piece as the pictures looked like short pieces with a coupling or two (insert groan here). That was a few weeks back and unfortunately no response. If one long piece, I am going to get my quote and if close in price, just buy one of theirs and give a detailed opinion with pictures of theirs versus what I am hopeful to do (again priced right).
      Anyone know of someone who actually bought from them and can show pictures, talk quality, etc..?????

      I am vigilant, every time I walk up to mine all I look at is that missing drip rail!
      Working on my first one!

        No luck with wagoners west. Ordered two sets. Numerous excuses, PayPal calls me to verify they are legit. Claims he is overwhelmed. Finally gave up and asked for refund. Opened case on PayPal. Now he claims he is having trouble with PayPal. Definitely need 3 sets so count me in if you find a source.

          UPDATE

          Wow, a year went by fast. Anyone still interested in this? I have finally gotten back on this project and found someone to quote me on one piece drip rail trims. One long one short, shaped to slide onto the channels and ability to slip into the corner pieces. They are quoting the least corrosive stainless steel mirror finish to match corner.

          I'm dialing in the exact length. Would those interested please let me know what they think of these lengths? Long top = 92.25" and the short front = 22.125"

            I'm still interested. Let me know the progress. What's the price point you're shooting for?

              If anyone knows a source for actual metal drip rails, I want a set, badly.

                Drip rail trim soon available another

                Hello my friend, I work currently on project to rebuilt the rain gutter, in stainless style version include, main gutter, the corner and on each side of the windshied, subscribe to my newsletter to stay inform about this project.

                I am continually trying to make some hard to  find parts  for older Jeeps like the Gladiator  or the Wagoneer  available on the market. This includes design ,  prototyping ,  production  and distribution, not to mention the marketing
                My name is Dominique, my mother tongue is french, I own a restored white jeep full Size Cherokee chief 1978 - I really like the FSJ and I decided to engage my time to help you during your restoration, I rebuilt some older and unavailable parts for these. I do this after my main job. Currently I sell bumper nerfs stripe for 81-91 grand wagoneer and clear lens cover for 64-75.

                    bringing this back up. Anyone had luck with having these made or found similar for a suburban or other wagon that could be cut down?
                    One day I will wake up and realize that my jeep is complete...one day, I just know it.

                      I joined the forum just to post in this thread

                      Definitely interested in anything that might lead to a good set of drip rails. The Wagoneerswest website doesn't seem to exist anymore.

                        Another year's gone by for Woody. Over the length? Make them an inch too long and people could trim them.

                            If you have the plastic trim that has simply yellowed, there was a post on another site where a guy took acetone on a clean rag, and carefully went down the length of the trim ONE time, in one direction. Says it completely removed the yellow and looked like new again. YMMV.
                            1990 Grand Wagoneer with HD towing package -- everything works! (for now...)

                              I ended up removing mine fully and plan to paint them body color. I cut the front edge at an angle to avoid the sharp angle. I think it'll look ok.

                              I would have liked "new" but can't find them...
                              It followed me home, honest...
                              Newly acquired 1986 GW. 4? (I think Rusty?s lift).
                              Needs interior work. Smells like a refinery on the outside. Relatively rust free.

                                I removed the plastic ones (they weren't worth keeping) and kept the stainless corner elbow pieces. I painted the drip rails when I painted the Wag. Doesn't look too bad. But I'm willing to buy some stainless trim pieces if anyone makes or finds them.
