Wanted: Windshield Moulding / Trim

Post by Udara15 »

Hello Everyone,

Does anyone know where I could buy the trim pieces that go around the windshield? - condition doesn’t really matter, as long as they’re still usable and not bent/damaged.

If anyone has anything laying around please do let me know.

Many thanks in advance,

Udara

Thank you @xirdneh,

Would you be able to arrange shipping to the UK? (I’ll obviously cover the costs).

If so, please let me know the total including shipping.

Many thanks,

Udara

so far i have sides, top and bottom but but cannot find container with corner pieces.
the pieces i have do not look any better than the side piece in your picture
have you considered forgetting the trim and filling in the sides and top with windshield urethane (i use U-248)

Thanks @xirdneh,

I’d really like to put the trim on to make it as original as possible - the car is currently being repainted so even if the trim wasn’t in the best shape, i can get these repaired/painted.

Please do let me know if you find the corner pieces, i’d be really interested in buying a full set of trim.

Thank you again,

Udara

Black would be ideal - but wouldn't mind chrome either! (as long as they are not cracked or bent).

There's an 87 close by in NH with that had the black trim when I pulled the interior. If you could offer advice on removal I'd pull it. I know when I got my windshield replaced yesterday they said they couldn't save the clips so they glued it on.

Sounds good - i’ll send you a PM with a list of the things I need and we can sort something out. Thanks Udara

i found the corner pieces and now have all the way around
the chrome is pretty much all worn off and everything is black except bottom piece which has most of the chrome (do you need bottom piece?)
though shipping should be cheaper from NH (Udara15)
