MR_Loyale Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 The black molding strip on the left rear quarter panel is hanging on by one clip and flopping around. The clips are rusted out. Does anyone know where I can get those clips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagonist Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Rusted? you have metal clips holding your mouldings on? Ours are plastic (but brittle ) on post 88 models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caepman Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Have you seen this post about those clips? Read through the thread... on pg 2 Scooner's post shows a pic of how he "drilled and tapped 8/32 screw, used adhesive mounting tape and fender washers with nuts on the back side" (he includes a photo). The mouldings on my car were loose too; however, they were attached with Sikaflex adhesive, not clips. I removed the mouldings then re-attached them with 3M moulding tape - seems to be working well. Perhaps you could re-attach yours using moulding tape? For me, the most difficult part of the job was removing the old, dried out Sikaflex. I used an eraser wheel... you can read more about this here. Don't wait too long to deal with this... the previous owner of my '85 GL wagon let it go too long... the rear-most moulding on each side was missing when I purchased the car this past July. I'm looking to find replacements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l75eya Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Think Mr_Loyale is taking about the window moulding clips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandrion Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I used some 3M outdoor super adhesive, super thick double sided tape to stick all my door trim back on, as all my trim had gotten brittle on the inside where the clip attached and broken off. Now it looks great, and no rattle!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR_Loyale Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 Think Mr_Loyale is taking about the window moulding clips No. I am talking about the strip of molding that goes along the rear left quarter panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR_Loyale Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 (edited) Here are few pics that should clarify. Yes, on the sedans apparently they are metal, well two of the three are metal and one is a plastic thing. This is probably why the molding hasn't completely come off. Took the car through a touchless car wash a few weeks ago and this is what I got for it. I may have found a source for these. I will update the thread later this week with the result for future documentation.

Scooner Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Some super duper double sided tape might work really good for reattaching if both sides are really clean, or do what that shady scooner guy talks about and drill and tap the clips...wait didn't you say they were metal? Weird. I've got a couple of leftover clips if you want me to send then to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l75eya Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Whoops, my mistake mr_Loyale. Apologies, I assumed so because all the other trim on my cars is held on by plastic cups like the others have said. Best of luck finding a way to repair that trim!

rrgrr Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I broke most of my plastic clips getting them off, used 3M yellow super weatherstrip adhesive (600?) to glue them on -but be careful you got one shot with that stuff, it will eat paint when wet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
