66 Door Pockets

I have two original door pockets with the plastic bezels.

1) What is the best way to "lube"/clean the zipper so that it moves freely?

2) Best way to clean the "white vinyl"?

3) Does anyone make the "drain plugs" on the bottom of them.

4) Is there a place to send the plastic bezels to get them "reconditioned?

They have been out of the truck and safely stored. Would like to start using them again and "retire" the metal panels.

Thank you for all your help. You guys are great.

I've never tried it, but I heard that Chapstick works well for lubing zippers. I'm not trying to make a joke here. It is supposed to work.

thats because chapstick is made of wax, and other stuff i guess.... just use a wax candle stick or anything wax for that matter. use 409 on your door panels.

here is something for the chrome plastic. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000CPI0QO/...inishingcominc

Bees wax works pretty good.

Beeswax is what we used in the USCG to keep zippers lubed.
