I spent 2+ hours last night trying to get just one side of these damn things on and the quarter window felts for the car also. Fought with the doors last Saturday! Gotta love that gold "Made in Taiwan " sticker on both of them!! 
Is there any trick to installing these Quarter moldings on the glass that isn't obvious? Maybe NOT use the strip provided and use Urethane windshield caulk instead??? 
Just need to finish up these couple of things before I put the vinyl top on and it's really pissing me off!!  |
I just mounted a pair of these pieces of CRAP myself a few weeks ago. I have yet to put a single repop thing on a car I was happy with! Also note the death points on the ends of them. I was going to file them round like the originals and decided against it since it would just start rusting. The right side went on okay, I fought the left side for an hour. The radius on the curve was just wrong so it refused to go on and kept spitting itself off the glass after I had it on. I ended up bending it a little which of course put a small kink on the inside but that helped enough to let it stay on. As far as mounting without that rubber, I've put originals on no problem by squirting 3M weatherstripping adhesive/sealer into the channel, pushing it onto the glass, then after it's dry, take a razor blade and trim the overflow off where it squirts up over the glass.
