Looking for rear window trim/molding April 05, 2015, 03:19:23 AM My rubber rear window molding is in very poor shape now - it's close to cracking all the way through and has been severely warped and discolored for years. I have been unable to find NOS molding so I hope to be able to find, and retrofit if needed, some metal molding from an '87 model.Does anyone have a car they can pull this stuff from? I'm also curious how the stuff mounts to the original vehicle. Quote Selected

Looking for rear window trim/molding Reply #2 – April 05, 2015, 02:15:00 PM The entire single-piece rear glass molding on my car. It has been lifting in the corners for years, cracking all along the length, and the hard, brittle rubber (more like plastic today) is stained a light gray (no longer black). Of course my rear 1/4 windows also look terrible as the "rubber" is a hard, disintegrated mess, and this is from the relatively mild Pacific Northwest weather. I have no idea how bad everyone else's vehicles are in the areas closer to the equator. Quote Selected

I'd love to find how to swap over to the metal trim. Quote Selected
