How hard is it to find the snap in moulding around the rear backlite for an 88 Sport or LX ?
Does anyone have one for a reasonable amount of money ?
check your local yards and see whats available.
Will do ... so far one 88 TC is all I could find
check with your local auto glass installers, one told me they had a universal one that was close.
are you talking about the aluminum trim around the window?
yes and no
From what I understand 87 and 88 sport and lx models use a one piece snap in molding similar to later ford models not the multi piece aluminum trim that was used for half a century or better
This is my first "aero bird " so I am leaning as I go
My prior birds were as follows in order that I owned them 84 TC, 86TC, 83TC and 85 TC
Ahh yes..... I don't have that one
I have been trying to find one in good shape for years. The ones I have seen at wrecking yards were in worse shape than mine . I ended up buying the TC trim from (86caprirs) grinding the hooks off the trim and setting it in place with silicone till I find the correct kind.
I think this is what you are looking for...

It is , but I only paid 400 for my whole car and that is a little too rich for my blood ...........lol
I bought one of these from this seller. The factory ones (Black) dry up and actually kind of shrink . I know it costs a lot but you wont regret it if you get it.
