this project has a major case of the " while youre in there" syndrome. this started as a cowl rust repair and chrome delete.
Peter's chrome trim is in great shape. it is RARE to find 914 window trim that fits flush. it is soft AL and the shape is critical to a snug fit after removign the wipers, we have to locate 20 plastic trim clips Attached thumbnail(s) |

I was going to set the window by myself when a freind dropped by. normally I hate uninvited drive by visits but this day's visitor was an angel sent by god to save me from myself. all my prep work would have been ruined if I had tried this alone.
the rubber trim gets set onto the window before you stick it. 914rubber sendds you the rubber trim with glue already inside teh groove. the frit primer helps that glue stick better. I did the frit border but also primed the edge of teh glass here you can see the UV staining I mentioned. this window is also pitted but still OK "servicable" as the owner put it. I would have liked to do this job with a new glass Attached image(s) |
