Rx Window Trim


Recommended Posts

Does anybody know how to take off the trim on the outside of the doors and small windows behind the doors?

On my Rx, the black trim that sits up against the window needs some attention. Some paint is peeling and one piece looks like it just needs to be replaced.

Does anyone know how it comes off? I don't want to break it.

Thx CarFreak. I would appreciate that, to be able to actually see what is involved.

 

Nice pic Colemanapp. It looks just like mine. Or it did. I have no hub caps, just the white rims, I have a scoop in the hood and I totally cut my tail light section off, due to rust really bad,  and custom made new tail light section. I went with 3 round led tail lights and am in the process of welding up a new custom rear bumper.

If not I will just fabricate some new ones. I was hoping to find something on the shelf, but as I said on another post, if you want to keep our rare older subies on the road, we will have to get creative.

 

Oh, and if I did find a parts car, chances are those trim pieces are rusting away like mine are and you pretty much ruin them taking them off.

The ones on the doors are looking pretty baked from the sun and peeling. When you put your arm out the window it sometimes scratches you. So I am now thinking of different options. One of the drivers side trim on little window was rusted away like termites to wood if you know what I mean. And what is bad about it, that trim catches a lot of dirt and grim which is why it rusts that thin metal.

I am thinking of making some pieces that look good and that you can remove easily for cleaning.
