windshield corner piece

[jamesblonde82]

hey guys, i went to wash my car today and sometime between now and last time that little corner piece on the passenger side A pillar came off where the top meets the A pillar. musta flew off going 80 or something i dont know. anyone got any laying around, kinda looks like moisture can get in there now and i want to keep it out. i've seen this happen to several peeps on here, so ill assume i won't need any pics, but i can get them if you don't know what im talking about. also what would i use to stick it back on there?

[DirftKing102]

can you post some pics so people can look to see what your talking about. Because i need visualization before i can help a person out.

Lemme go outside and see if I have it. Edit in a sec.

Yup, I got it. Couldn't pry it off with my keys though, so I'll break out the screwdrivers tomorrow when I have more light.

There's a screw holding it. If you pry it out, you will break the bottom portion, but I think you can install it with some sillicone stuff. Right way to remove is you have to go from A pillar interior trim -> rubber molding -> outer metal trim -> corner piece.

Loki, how's your headliner cover? I need it.

I've been working with James on getting his top peice and corner peices if he hasn't promised them to someone else. I have to fix some rust up there and wanted to have them in case the other peices were worthless.

Any way he said, "I checked the car after uninstalling more parts this weekend and noticed somthing. The trim piece can be removed safely by unscrewing the plastic clips from underneath. The trick is to remove the interior plastic trim where the sunvisors are and use a socket in a bunch of recessed holes."

Hope that helps.

[jamesblonde82]

thanks! i emailed you

Loki,Crack is fine. Can you take it out for me? Only the sunvisor and interior light screws are holding it. It's fragile, so you gotta be careful though.

[jamesblonde82]

well damn, someone outbid me! i wasn't home to redo it, though i didnt wanna go over 20 bucks for just one tiny bit of plastic or whatever its made of.

Loki....my man, looks like im going to be begging you again sir....

I can't get the damn thing off I'll yell at it again tomorrow afternoon I guess.

BTW I took the headliner out. It has some pretty bad cracks near the rearview and both hole for the sun visors. I can get pics up tomorrow.

[jamesblonde82]

damn why is yours so hard to come off when mine will just fall off!!?

[Loki]

That's what I'm wondering. Mine could survive a nuclear war I believe.

[Loki]

SUCCESS! I tackled the mountain of weather stripping and came out the relative winner! Anything else you want?

oh i didn't know that was for me, thought it was for 94_240sx. well there are a couple things ive been looking for, a good driver's quarter window i need for sure, the whole assembly would be nice, and did you have a rearview with map lights?

I do have the windows, but I have no idea how to get them out. Also have the map light rearview, but it was damaged in the crash. I know the mirror itself is cracked, and I'm not sure if the lights were damaged as well. Anyone know a way I could check after removing it?

[ishkabibble]

hook it up to a 12v battery.

The lights were probably not damaged, though.

[jamesblonde82]

i know the windows gotta be up to get em out. is there a way to change out the mirror? anyone?

there's a write up about the quarter windows, let me know if you can't find it i got it stored somewhere.

I managed to get a set of 1/4 windows out of a junker vert when they were down. It was not fun, but I managed it somehow.

Switching out the mirror glass could be tricky.

[jamesblonde82]

ill take the mirror even tho its cracked, ill see what i can do with it. and the window (driver's side) if its not too much trouble..i know ur leg is still healing.

Nah, it's not the leg that's the trouble, it's my own inexperience as usual. I'm gonna print a couple pages from the FSM (if it works) and take them with me tomorrow.

Also, do you need the little mount that is attached to the windshield?
