windshield trim

It's been a while since I worked on the 80's.

Thought you meant the glass itself.

Yea little clips hold the trim, And gotta be really careful not bend or crease it as your pry like mentioned before.

And where do you have the wippers in park position? Are they on the glass or not? I have them on the glass and the trim is damaged, because the driver's wipper hits the molding every turn a bit.

Omg!

Your Cat looks absolutely sick!  I love it!  Rustoleum Satin Black it is. 
I'll be as carefull as I can.  I saw a couple of you said these trim pieces are easy to mess up when you remove them from the car.
Thanks for the info guys.

I don't have them on the car in that pic. but in park, they should be to the edge of the glass. here''s a pic without the hood on, they actually hit the washer squirter blocks.




If the wipers are already down that far and are still hitting the window trim.... You may have the wrong size wiper blades on the car

Rear Window Trim?

Reply #13 –
Alright guys.  I took the windshield trim off, prepped it, painted it and reinstalled it.  It came out great!  I used Duplicolor's "Trim Paint."  It looks factory.  What a difference.  :D

Now...  Does the trim around the back window have the same type of clips holding it on?  What's the best way to take it off without screwing it up?
