rear window trim

[HondaBoy]

i dont know if anyone else has had the problem of the rear window trim pealing or not. the plastic or rubber coating that mine had was cracking and comming off on it. so i decided to scrape all of it off today and polish it out to match the side window trim on the doors. here's a pic. i'll try to get some more when its not night time. i still need to do the top piece but i didnt have time. and i need to get something to hold it on because its kinda glued in place.

My back window's passenger side trim fell off, I'm still trying to locate a few new clips to hold it on, and the incompetent people at the dealer keep ordering the wrong ones

so it's the drivers side. do yo need the upper corner too? I think I have clips around my shop at work......maybe.

[Beaver]

if you have any of those clips left over after him, i'll buy a few!

[Nospeed]

i say just scrape and paint. i suppose you can get all of them to look like that, so it wont be tooooooo ghetto.

lol......if I have em, just give me your addy and I'll send some to ya. But wait till Monday and I'll check. You need the clips on the body, right?

[Beaver]

Yeah I think they stick onto the body and then the window trim slides over it. Thank you so much! I would really appreciate that man, I kid you not, 3 honda dealer techs have ordered the wrong ones for me. My address is 1465 NW division st. #1 Corvallis, OR 97330.

well theres only 4 pieces right i just need the one the goes from the trunk to the roof

[ghettogeddy]

i just went and looked there are little corner pieces on the top and i am missing that one

[MessyHonda]

yeah mine is pealling off too...my auto shop teacher told me to use laquer thiner to take it off. but it took to long so i only did half of it. it would look better when its chrome since i might get my windows tinted

[HondaBoy]

i dont think laquer thinner would work too well. even paint stripper might have some problem getting the plastic coating off the trim. i resorted to a heat gun and razor blade to scrape it off, then used a wire rotory wheel to get what was left off. then i went over it with a polishing wheel and that ended up getting all the rest of the stuff off and polishing the metal as well. i think its stainless steel, not aluminium or chromed steel. i dont think i'm going to do the top part anytime soon, it looks fine without it done. now it looks like everything matches since the door windows have the polished trim on it also.

thanks for the tip. i might do that also. i like the speakers in the rear. if i wasnt so tight on money i would paint my car but its a 600 buck paint job. so i just going to primer all the dings then see if i get a better job

[HondaBoy]

yeah, same here. i dont have much money to speak of to spend on my car at the moment. so i'm pretty much doing stuff i dont have to spend money on. i already have the polishing compound and felt polish wheels for my hand held rotory tool. i'm also doing a set of rims with that, i just need some more of those felt wheels to get it all done. and then a bit of paint and clear coat. i'm probably not gonna paint my car up anytime soon, but i do plan of fixing the air conditioning in about a month at school.

[3gn86lxi]

Didn't get a chance to look for the clips guys. I was so fing busy today.........
I will look tomorrow.
Oh, ghetto, I know I have side trim for ya.

[ghettogeddy]

cool if u dont have any clips its ok ill make due with what i have

I repainted my rear trim with bumper paint and a few layers of clear. Here's a shot of the finished product:

Just scrape, light sanding, mask, and spray. I also redid my antenna base in the same fashion.

[HondaBoy]

looks good. i also thought to do that, but i just wanted to have a polished trim piece.

[crazykamper]

i will be doing this as soon as i get a chance, the black electrical tape is starting to come off. LOL

[frantik]

looks good. i also thought to do that, but i just wanted to have a polished trim piece.

i think it looks better polished than all black myself. matches the side window trim

[MessyHonda]

yeah man i agree...it would stand out more if you have dark tint next to the polished trims. that is how my uncle plans on doing it.

[crazykamper]

question, (not about window trim, but door moldings) how do i take them off? my friends civic there are clips on the inside of the door that you need to take off..... thanks!!
