Hi gang,

My old windshield upper moldings blew off in transit recently. I have new pieces to install now, but i don't know a good installation procedure to keep these in place. I know somebody here has some great ideas!

As far is i know all the clips are still in the frame.

 

Make sure the clips are in good condition. I has some blow off before and had to replace the clips. I'm pretty sure you can still get them from the factory, maybe black dragon too.

 

I bought mine from Black Dragon. Pretty cheap too...

Part # 97-770 (79-83) $9.95
Part # 97-772 (84-85) $8.95

1-888-789-DRGN

Cheap insurance to make sure it does not blow off again!!

 

Oh and the factory service manual shows the installation.

I think i will go ahead and order a new clip set! I could just see me painting the new mouldings and installing them. Then whoosh there they go getting run over by a semi!

 

If the side moldings are loose you could order the clips for them and do both at the same time. That might even help the top moldings be more stable. I had someone change my windshield once. Before the new windshield the moldings were very sturdy. After the new windshield everything was loose. Turns out the people changing the windshield broke a few of the clips and didn't bother to tell me. New clips helped out everything.

 

That is a good call rx-7 ames! Drivers side molding is a little looser than i would like.

 

Cool, let us know how it all works out for you.
