Lower window trim

[YoungCoupe]

Anyone know how to replace the lower window trim? Somehow I damaged the one on the driver side when I was waxing

oh dang did you hit it with a wheel? Is there material removed causing it to be gray/white? Or is there some material added, like a scuff mark?

if he hit it with the wheel... Im ASSUMING it will "burn" as its a rubber material...... happens during buffing tape is friend

Ya I think that's what happened. I'm going to try to paint it, but I'll probably just buy a new part. Are there clips that hold it in place?

It is literally wedged in there. I tinted my own windows and I pulled the trim out in order to help adhere the tint to the portion of the window hidden under the trim. If you follow that trim piece around the window at one point it is split in half as the two ends of the trim meet. At this point you can pull some of it up and then just start pulling it out from one end. It should completely come out and it's really not hard to put back in. Just check with the other side to make sure every area is reinstalled as it should be!

no clips, it should be a full rubber coated metal piece if im not mistaken and you just squeeze it on in place

[YoungCoupe]

Um so I tried to pull it out and now its bent....

There are definitely clips on that piece. Someone tried to break in to my Coupe a while back and they did exactly what you did, pulled it up and bent it. I know for sure there is one right around where the door handle is, it was sticking right out at the very end.

And here is your part number if you need to order another.

Wow I feel terrible bud!!! I was thinking of the inner trim pieces!!

[YoungCoupe]

Hm...ya I was wondering why you put the tint on the outside of the window lol

[YoungCoupe]

What's worse is I tried it on the other side...that was previously undamaged. Oh well what's done is done.

... wait you did it on both sides? or the undamaged side? oh god... either way you must be all like "Le FUUUUUUUU"

[YoungCoupe]

At the time, I was painting the damaged side. So I tried taking out the undamaged side. Now both are messed up Moral of the story: FML MY CAR.

I need to replace both of mine. The tint shop melted the thin edge on both of them with what I can only assume was a heat gun. It doesn't look bad, but it's not smooth anymore.
