they broke off, im in the process of replacing them, but wont be able to get them installed until next weeks and its expected to rain down here in stockton. but i need the car for school. would it be cool if i taped it with blue painters tape?

 

lol this thread is funny.

 

 

For the sake of keeping it real, look bro there's no possible molding that you can easily break off that will result in your windshield flying off and causing havock. Now if your rain drippers broke or your weather seals cracked then it's no biggie at all they only serve one simple purpose, and it's not to hold the windshield from flying away. Enjoy your weekend and please don't freak out next time something easily breaks.

 

thanks, but im not freaking out, it is the side molding, it doesnt hold the windshield done, the glue holds the windshield down, this molding is basically a waterproof shielding. i think. i think im just going to tape it and hopes nothing gets messed up.

 

has anybody ever removed the clips holding the windshield moldings?

 

I have a while back... a bit tricky... hard to describe.. but once they are locked in position... very hard to unclip w/o breaking. not too hard at all.

hard to explain but once you are in there.. it should be self explanatory.

 

yes 'use a flathead srewdriver pry it under the clips and pull it out cause i just did mine right now cause i took it to the dealer to be replace through warranty but the technician did not do a good job so i have redo it my self with new clips.

 

will the pins stay in place? take some pictures. maybe we can combine pics to make a DIY

 

what are the chances of me breaking my windshield? and should i get the flat head screw driver with the rubber covering so i dont scratch off my paint.

 

Very big chance!!!! Be very careful!!! you don;t want to hit a pressure point and damage something!

Only use vinyl pry tools..... and your hands!!!

I remember i removed it with a pry tool lifting it to get grip.. and then using my hand pulling it off gently...

 

but when i take them out, will the pins holding them stay on the car? or will i have to find a way to put new pins in also?

 

no the pins stay in the car that holds the clips. they dont break or come off. thats pins that hold clips.and use the a shard blades to clean the area or rubber thats on the way before you put a the new clips.

 

Ok, lets see if i have the courage to fix it. My auto glass said that they will replace all of them for 60 bucks, buts its a 50-50 chance they will break my window.
