Window trim question

supra_91 · 07-21-2006, 10:15 PM

i want mine done so that it looks like nothing ever happened to it. if i sand it and paint it you will be able to see the spots where it is peeling.

Toyota has them. $555 for the rear hatch and the 2 rear quarter panel window trim.

sounds off the wall but this maybe a good idea..is there any type of plastics manufacturer in your area?

the way the coat the parts is by a thin sheet and glue basicly get in good with the owner/boss/forman and see if he can get you sheets of the crap just ask for the scraps the parts are small he'll more then likely give them to you

use a medium grit sandpaper to score the metal apply the glue use a heat gun to warm up the plastic/vinal so you can mold it around the part when the glue is tacky apply the vinal then heat it up so you can mold it

its worth a shot..i mean..555? thats insane does that price cover the whole hatch? or just the glass? lololol

I have a lot of old sheet metal working tools...I might just make all the pieces entirely out of metal. That way they wont peel off....But then i would just screw it down and bondo the holes...so if i need to take it off, Im screwed. No pun intended

I have had good luck with SEM 39063 trim black gloss black. In 2021 it's about $19 for a 12 ounce can delivered from eBay. If you have cracks In the remaining plastic, spray some in a cup and use a small brush to fill them before spraying light coats. This paint may cause the remaining plastic coating to curl a bit. That's why I'm saying go lightly at first to form a cured base coat and press down any curls. I was able to find a full 4 piece rear hatch glass trim replacement sourced in Japan through eBay but they wanted $396 delivered. I went with a $19 can of touch up.
