Rear window molding

[Groundup]

Replacing all my exterior molding, ran into a road block. For the rear window molding ordered a set from dynacorn, so soft it dented with my thumb on install. Can't find oem,nos or any aftermarket that are in stock, any ideas?

Contact West Coast Classic Cougar, they deal with a trim restorer that returns the trim pieces good as new.

What type of Mustang are you working on? (Coupe, Mach 1, Fastback)

All the aftermarket pieces are very soft. I recommend that you get black window sealer and glue it in place. Trust me, you will never install it without bending it. I hope you prove me wrong but I tried many times, even took it to local glass place . Good luck.

Agree with alarmrick. If unable to buy restored original pieces and your stuck having to use repo trim recommend butyl strips as in photo, this stuff really works well.

it is possible to get them there, but it requires a lot of work and time. I succeeded after a couple of days. as previously said, they are really soft.

Thanks for the pics, if you used the thin aftermarket molding, did you use the molding clips or did you use some sort of epoxy to hold them on? I installed my rear windshield a couple of months ago with new clips and was unable to get the molding on properly using the new clips. I will probably have the go the epoxy route to hold the molding on. Thanks for the pics and any responses.

I used new org clips, and the molding is the soft one from Corvex. What was another problem is that the recesses in the molding were in the wrong places. So I had to grind out new recesses. // Thomas
