got sick of looking at the wrinkle rear window trim ;D the hard part was finding a good one in the boneyard, and getting it off in a useable shape. passenger side wasn't bad, just need to be glued back to the glass. ample amounts of RTVblack, don't need anymore water getting behind it, and heaving it up again this winter. this mess got all trimed,pushed in proper.and painted with a little testors simi-gloss, flatblack. looks spiffy Amazing GOOP!"sticks everything, to anything"......LOLwe'll see. "new" piece glued, tucked in and...........shimed? (lol) till set! all cleaned up. may not be perfect, but it's better then looking at it the way it was. came up a little short, i'll just grab another one of them covers, and make an extend'o clip.....lol

Nice. I redid one of my corners with black rtv too. Got rid of a nasty bow. It's one of those little details that always draws your eye, right?

I think I had my body shop man order one for me. If I remember correctly, it wasn't very expensive.

Looks good tipsy, I've got the same issue in several places. Did you look in to finding NOS "reveal trim" ? i did look! only found the top trim that runs up to the front, for like 40 bucks a side(#1 OEM 25634566). but mine was ok. it's the window surround i could never find.(#3 OEM 25678628) that was bad. it was listed in the dealers book for 120 dollars!!! forget that. not for a a piece of trim will i pay that kind of money! i'm sure it's out there somewhere in new old stock, but when i'd seen 120$, i stoped looking real quick and went the boneyard route for free
