Default Re: Windshield surround

If you buy used,check to make sure the clips are firmly secured to the plastic surrounds. There's been debates here that the clips are glued onto the plastic and some say there held on with double side tape. The clips are definitely attatched with really thin double sided tape. I've never seen double sided tape this thin. The plastic surrounds have small plastic elignment pins that reaches thru the metal clips. Just apply super glue to the old torn tape and press down to secure loose clips. If you don't carefully elign the pins with the clip while gluing,then the clip on the plastic surround want snap onto the clips that's riveted onto the cars body. It's either a clip has been reapplied off the pins center or clip was loose when pryed off the car that's causes it to blow loose at high speeds. AutoZone sells a package of all the trim removal pry bars that you will ever need. It 's not in the tool section,but in the help section. Part No. 49051 HELP. About $20.00 a set. Squirrel Crusher
