Windshield Trim

Post by 68rookie »

My truck has the weather stripping with the groove in it for trim around the windshield. I realize this trim is hard to come by but I've found a a couple of trucks that have it and was wondering how hard it is to remove and reuse. I would like to put it on mine.

It's not to hard to remove, When you start pulling the trim you need to roll the trim in towards the windshield to remove it.

There's a write up with pictures on site somewhere if you look around.

The windshield trim can be pulled off with your fingertips. I have successfully removed trim many times this way. You might have to feel around for an area that is proud of the rubber then start there. Try the bottom corners.

Very easy to remove. I use two medium "pinch bars" one down on the glass crown up and the second on top just under the edge of the trim. THe drip rail trim can be removed this way as well, be patient don't get in a hurry.
