Rear Window Windshield Moldings Help?

[Vincevox]

Hi guys I am new and was wondering if you guys had any suggestions about this!

I had a question for all you guys if you ever had a your windshield (rear) moldings just die on you and pop out? And if so how were you guys able to fix it or make it better? Right now it just has nothing on the lining of the windshield. So I was not sure on what to do because if I had tried to get some from the junk yard I will either be lucky or just end up empty handed. So with this in mind please let me know? And I looked up on ebay for one that was not the OEM one of it but like just a rubber stripping instead so I was not sure if that would work as well?

Thank you guys!

Good luck. Mine were dented over the years and I kept an eye out for 8 years for these parts. Some I had shipped to me, and others I had someone take them off their car before it went to the junk yard.

Aww man okay thanks for the reply man. Do you think that taking them off a car in the junk yard would be the cheaper option or like looking on the internet or dealer? Or just filling it up with some silicon paste into it?

Dont use silicone. A few months ago, i was chasing a leak. I suspected a few places and i gl8bbed a bunch of silicone everywhere. A month later after my silicone job, i puled the trigger and requested safelite to replace my front windshield. Well, the technician said not to use silicone on your car. Silicone corrodes the area where silicone is touching. I really didnt research anything into that advice. I just took it face value. Food for thought.

Are they popping out at the top, sides, or bottom? It matters because the bottom is held by eight screw clips that require some finesse to get out without breaking things.

So pretty much I should avoid that and try to get the clips in place? It sucks cause they were popping and I took them out thinking that I could easily replace them but they ended up being very hard to find and finding them at the junk yard would have been not a great turn out because of the fact they are highly messed up :/

So they top one was pooping out but I made the mistake of just taking it out. My dad actually had did a silicone job on it before and just slapped the moldings on it. So I thought of taking them all off and wanted to replace them but it was very hard to find them and they arent that easy to find so i was hoping if you guys had suggestions on other methods

These clips for the sides and top are still available according to Majestic:

91530-SM4-003 024 004 CLIP, RR. WINDSHIELD SIDE MOLDING

91535-SM4-003 025 003 CLIP, RR. WINDSHIELD MOLDING (UPPER) (BLACK)

91541-SM4-003 026 008 CLIP ASSY., RR. WINDSHIELD SIDE MOLDING (BLUE)

The eight screw clips across the bottom show as no longer available. If you're careful, they can be removed by unscrewing the screw (not all the way), then push the screw in, then lift the clip. The screws/clips are hidden under the rubber skirt on the bottom of the rear trim. If you have access to a hair dryer/heat gun, it helps to heat the rubber to soften it before trying to lift it up to access the screws. Keep your eyes open for good trim, don't separate the clips from the trim if you don't have to because they can be difficult to reinstall.

You may be able to get some of the clips from a glass installer much cheaper. I think the clip kit for the last front windshield I had replaced was about $10.

Thank you for your help man! So they are just an an oem seller of any honda parts? And so should I just clean out the silicon on there and just get the clips and modlings?

[Vincevox]

Another question guys!

What is the easiest amd safest way to take out the moldings? So like when I go to the junkyard if anything to have it out correctly and usable?

Thanks again guys!
