this project has a major case of the " while youre in there" syndrome. this started as a cowl rust repair and chrome delete.
Peter's chrome trim is in great shape. it is RARE to find 914 window trim that fits flush. it is soft AL and the shape is critical to a snug fit after removign the wipers, we have to locate 20 plastic trim clips Attached thumbnail(s) |

the black rubber window trim that replaces teh chrome does not cover as much window as teh metal trim. this windsheild has UV stains at teh edge where the chrome once covered. the smaller rubber trim also exposes the glue bead and the back of teh interior trim (the ugly side)
Modern cars have a black painted border on teh glass. this is teh FRIT primer/paint. I used teh width of the foam FRIT applicator as a guide . dont forget to leave an unpainted notch for teh VIN. the pinch weld on teh car also gets a special primer for teh urethane window glue. DONT TRY TO USE A HAND OPERATED CAULKING GUN FOR THE URETHANE UNLESS YOU HAVE ARMS LIKE POPEYE! this stuff is thick and HARD AS HELL to squeeze out. Attached image(s) |
