The PO told me that the windshield trim kept blowing off so he left it off. I installed the chrome trim off of my parts car three years ago and have been on several high speed runs without problems.
Today the center clip blew off at 95MPH and almost immediately the right side trim blew off as well. Is there a way to attache the trim so that I can be sure that it will not come off again? Attached image(s)

Hi Kelvin. I pulled the trim off my car and ordered new clips from Pelican. Bought a windshield removal kit from Harbor Freight and when I started pushing the cutting wire into the old butyl, the rubber crumbled out and I reached inside the car and with my hand, pushed out the windshield...no effort at all.
Got new butyl from a windshield shop and with a helper reinstalled the windshield. With the new clips the trim fit tight. After installation, I also put a super thin bead of clear silicone rtv all the way around. No more water leaks and a tight seal on the trim. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) Good Luck. Bill I think the door was the secret to getting past 80! |
