whitepony · 08-11-2004, 05:58 PM

i was woundering how hard it is to change the 1/4 window moldings on my car

do i need to take the plastic off on the inside of my hatch and back seat to get at them.
and i heard you need to bye new windows is this true??

they are a B#itch... You have to remove the entire window to get to the molding.. Its a hard job I hear. If not done right they leak. I would recommend getting them done at a glass shop.. thats my .02 cents.

It's true, you can only get the moldings by buying all new glass. It's a major PITA.

Howevery Steeda makes a set of covers that look good. They're like $99 bucks.

My buddy bought those, they glue on, kinda cheesy, if there shot bad, get the new units.. Its the best way to go.
