2G Upper Door Trims Window Trim [Merged 5-7]

[IslanderTsi]

the upper and lower window trim on my 2g is fading and needs rplacement. I know machv carries both but everything they sell seems expensive compared to other sites. Does anyone else carry these parts at a decent price?

And also has anyone tried refinishing these on there own? Would their be any type of paint that would match up to the stock trim?

Try Back to Black by Mothers. If it is not too bad, it will work. Mine is all rotted beyond repair so I have to replace them. You CAN paint them, but every body shop I've been too said that they won't warranty the paint work on the rubber pieces, especially the ones on the quarter window. Try your local dealership or one of the vendors on here.

i bought mine from machv when i first bought the car, just the lower trim, it's deff. a good purchase instead of just painting them and is alot cheaper then any dealer will sell them for also I believe they're the only vendor that sells them that I know of.

What about JNZtuning?

I am having this problem:

And I am looking for a new replacement for the molding. I found "Drip mouldings" online, part #7 in the pic, and I am wondering if that's the same thing as the door moulding, or if that's some part underneath.

yes the #7 part is what you want, and here you go>>> http://www.machv.com/19updoortrim.html and for 64$ its not a bad price.

Thanks man. I just got them elsewhere for $35 less.

Thanks man. I just got them elsewhere for $35 less.

May I ask where you got them?

Mine are flaking as well, and that is a good price.

 

[Dragon TalonTsi]

Same here, Mach V is way overpriced on some of their items, and if you got the trim for 35 dollars less, let us all know the good details... come on...

Ok, $25.29 a piece: http://www.trademotion.com/partloca...=1998&graphicID=6226440&callout=7&catalogid=2. A little cheaper than Machv.


I also did a little searching and found some useful info on removing, installation and price.

Sorry if this belongs in another forum...

Needing to replace my driprails (96 gst) but not sure how to remove/install... I see some clips on the inside but I don't want to do something stupid, hoping someone who's dunnit can tell me how to get the old ones off..???

thanks in advance...

I found some at the wrecking yard that weren't flaking just faded they just gave them to me for free. then I painted them with paint for plastic they look great

So I have a little problem with my 97 Eclipse. The molding/trim around the door frame where the glass meets up with is leaking a little bit. Is there anyway to fix it without going out and buying new trim? Its not leaking a ton but when I was the car and such I see it leaking a couple drops here and there.

 

[DarkMyrakul]

you probably already checked but just to clarify...did u make sure the window it self is going all the way up?

 

[97 GSX 97]

Yea the window is all the way up. I'm positive.

I guess the weatherstripping or whatever is just really old and needs to be replaced but I'd prefer not to buy that unless I need to.

 

[Bubbs Malone]

You could check the local auto wreckers, it takes a little work with a screwdriver to install. But you might save some money.

I've read a few threads about the upper door trim and its habbit of peeling away. Right now that's the ugliest part of my car. It seems like a few have tried painting, but it peels away only a few months down the road. So I had the idea of using rubberized coating that they sell in rattle cans. Has anyone tried this? If not, think it would hold up?

I'm just trying to avoid buying new ones for now, so if anyone has other ideas please feel free to contribute. Thanks!

Honestly, consider buying them before they become discontinued. Take it from a 1g guy with door molding issues.

 

[rich3389]

Is there any way to get the molding around the little triangle rear windows?

 

[AlaskanDsm]

Does anyone know what the trim pieces were originally coated with? This material although obvioulsy wears in time, has lasted for some time as some of these cars are now almost 20 years old plus would add the stock feel/look back to our cars instead of the painted chrome fade look haha.

I replaced mine about 5 years ago and the key is to not ever use armor all/ jerry curl or anything like it, it makes it dry up and crack after time unless you keep a bottle of jerry curl in your car to keep it wet. j/k
-1 for armor all/ jerry curl products
they make a mess and suck to clean up

 

[tec_41]

Cool, thanks for the replies! I think I'll try either rubberized coating or truck bed-liner on them and see how it holds up. If it doesn't, I'll buy new ones!

 

[rich3389]

How do you take off the lower and upper trim?
