windshield trim Reply #15 – June 21, 2010, 08:23:34 PM Quote from: 88 Blackbird 5.0;326133Alright 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. :DNow... 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? What year and type are you working on? I assume an 88 Bird? The rear window trim in these cars are plastic snap in, correct, not the aluminum type like the fronts. Quote Selected

This car is an 87 by the way.I tweaked some of the rear trim pieces a little taking them off, but I was able to bend them back into shape luckily. The clips were so tight, there was no way to avoid tweaking them a little. I carefully straightened the pieces, cleaned them up and then painted them. Tomorrow, they'll be ready for installation on the car. Thanks as always for the help guys. Quote Selected
