toying with an idea - looking for an unobtrusive flexy trim to surround the 914 windshield - found these
anyone tried this? Flexline Windshield Auto Glass Universal Molding (on ebay) and this FlexiTrim http://www.creativeextruded.com/flexitrim.php looking for a TEMPORARY way to make my black car's front view more blended with my new glass - more like modern muscle cars (maybe more sinister?) like this - comparison pics below (my car was originally done in all black trim in Germany - it was a "period" euro thing for 914-6s to distinguish them from 4's) (i un-did that back in the early '80s) it's not a $$ issue - i have 2 nice sets of oem bright alu trim, and have NO interest in painting 'em black ( i might decide i don't like the "dark look" - and of course - it's a originality-value proposition for a future buyer) current bright trim look: no-trim "dark look" new glass, no trim in place |

If you want a temporary way. Id have some chrome wrapped in vinyl so it could be removed if you change you mind.
If you want the rubber, the windshield will need to be installed with urethane. Got it here if you need it https://shop.914rubber.com/914-Windshield-C...m?categoryId=-1 Attached thumbnail(s) Attached image(s) |

If you want the rubber, Got it here if you need it https://shop.914rubber.com/914-Windshield-C...m?categoryId=-1 yup - know about that -" The windshield itself must be removed to install" - have read about this on many of our threads I just had a new glass installed with oem clips in place - your seal is not an option I am looking for a "T" type seal that can be installed temporarily into the approximately 6-7mm groove twixt glass edge and frame and that has a lip to cover the joint something like this http://www.creativeextruded.com/flexitrim.php OR http://www.crlaurence.com/crlapps/showline...21031&pom=0 guess i'll go to some glass shops & see if any have this stuff in stock - just found a couple Flexitrim sellers in Sac'to |
