    Look at this thread: <a href="http://forums.windrivers.com/cgi-bin/forum3/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=54;t=000009" target="_blank">http://forums.windrivers.com/cgi-bin/forum3/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=54;t=000009</a>

    These guys cut the hole and put some sort of rubber/plastic rim to cover up the edge. I don't have a clue where you could get such an item, but my first guess would be an automotive part store. They might be referred to as grommets, which are plastic rims designed to prevent cables passing through a metal hole from chafing and rubbing.

    Exactly MacGyver, go to your local autoparts store and they have a variety of metallic shielded rubber with a double stick adhesieve on the bottom, they sell it for trimming out your wheel wells. Good Luck!

    You can also check your local auto parts store or automotive paint store for door edge molding. I know there is black, chrome and gold availible in it from <a href="http://www.trimbrite.com" target="_blank">Trimbrite</a>. It usually runs about $.75 per foot.
