All,
I have installed new OEM NOS Roof-rail Weatherstrip Guide Clip At Quarter Window and front door glass. Looked really nice. Several months later, I noticed that the coating has cracked and started to rust. The nice thing about this was that I had not glued the rubber weather strip yet. How do you keep this from happening again? On the drivers side, I removed them and used aircraft stripper to remove coating and submerged them in Skyco Ospho until they stopped bubbling. I got a friend to powder coat the two.
On the passenger side , my friend was not available, so I found a product call Plasti-Dip. Black color. One thing I recommend, is to take a glass cup, add some some Plasti-Dip and thin it out a bit. Right out of the can, it is too thick.
Thanks,
