DIY Window Trim Fix
Hey guys, we all have problems with the window trim and there is so much information out there to help us DIY guys but its all spread out throughout CL so i'm trying to gather it all into one. I'm going to try to fix my 2 front window trims in the near future as soon as i can get enough accurate information and tips. Don't mean to make a repeating thread
So far, i know the door panel will need to come off in order to do this. Someone please list a step by step procedure on how to take the window trim off, dos and don'ts, things to look out for, what type of adhessive to use (JB WELD?) where to apply the adhessive, pictures, ANYTHING that will help and ease the project
Thanks guys

yea it should be declared a world wide crisis! All 4 of my trims need to be replaced but only the 2 fronts are making annoying wind noise. I was quoted 477 a piece for my window trim, screw that!!

Had to have both front doors fixed on my '93 a few years ago. Lexus agreed to do it for labor cost only (not cheap, but better than nothing). They acknowledged it was a factory fault. Good luck

We gotta know how to take the trim off, where to apply the adheasive and tips. Thanks guys
