dart4forte, They are discolored, were originally green but have turned very dark green where they were more exposed to the sun. Think there salvageable? I wanted to remove them and dye them black. Plus the retractors are a little finicky at times, thought there might be dirt or something inside. Tried to slide a butter knife between the rubber and mounting bracket, not a chance... These came out of an AZ car that has been sitting for a long time.
