window molding fix for 2000+

[walnut777]

one of my doors window molding is split and you can see the metal beneath. do i just use something to try and cut it and get all the black off then vinyl it?

why not try body filler first, then sand it smooth the put the vinyl on.

I just did this today. It turned out OK. I used a pretty cheap vinyl.

I had the peeling & rusting issue on the driver side trim. Only the part under the mirror was still intact. It would have been a very long process to use filler, so I used a razor knife to cut the rubber/plastic down until it was even with the metal for the most part. Of course you have to use sandpaper, vinegar and/or baking soda accordingly to remove the rust and smooth the surface. The surface & bumps you see before laying the vinyl will all be apparent so make it smooth. Make sure to cover all of the metal to hopefully protect the thing from rusting again.

Some of the vertical trim is starting to come off slightly, that will be my next target.

If you want to stay OEM, I sell the vertical trim in excellent shape for $20 each or $50/set of 4.

That is exactly what I was hoping to find. Thanks for the post and link

Jim and Andrew that looks great, i have some wasted ones so i decided to go blue carbon fiber (just to add a little color to the silver), did the shirter plate too....

i need the inside window trim, i cant find it anywhere and i was hoping you guys could possibly steer me in the right direction?

So not saying this happened or anything but what do you do if one doesn't come off but bends and now won't seal to the car. Not sure if I should just seal it with adhesive or just get a new one but I could find any for sale.

If you bent it, it will never sit right again. Replace it. I have them in all conditions. PM or email andrew.suderman@gmail.com
