Windshield molding?

[dew22]

Do you have to pull the windshield to replace the exterior molding at the top of the glass?

No.

What happened?

No.

Had the car painted. They didn't remove them, (front or rear) they put a small flexible tube under them to get some separation I guess and now they are kinda wavy. Not bad really just the kind of thing that drives me crazy.


How do you replace them?

 

[Kilgore Trout]

The verticals on the sides are retained by a small bolt in the door jamb at their base and by clips. The horizontal on the top is clipped on and also retained on the ends by the verticals. I would not suggest trying to remove them. This would be something best left to a skilled body man.

I'm confused, are we talking about the same molding/trim? I'm talking about the black rubber trim at the top of the windshield.
