Reply to "Project Pain(t) begins"

Mikael, Prior to disassembling my car for paint I noticed at car shows many panteras with ill fitting windshield mouldings. This is probably a function of once it comes off it never goes on the same again issue. Needless to say we had the same problem we fought and fought the moulding to no avail. Finally we decided to drill a small 1/16" hole in the windshield lip with the windshield and rubber installed without the moulding. We then drilled a small hole in the moulding and threaded some small stainless wire and pulled it thru. We then tied the wire off arould a small screw. This is essentially a strap for the moulding holding it down. We initially thought of using glue but we were concerned about future dis-assembly problems. I imagine this is one of the reasons some people use the glue in windshields. I dont think they look proper on our cars. At least now my mouldings fit well. Smiler
