    Default G8 Door Molding Weatherstrip NEEDED!!!

    Very common for these window moldings to get chewed up by baking in the hot sun.

    Does anyone have a used set of 4 chrome moldings that we could use to get them reproduced.

    Currently, you'd have to go to GM and get a set for a few hundred bucks. We're trying to get the cost to around $100 for the entire kit!

    Which ones? The ones at the bottom of every window? Can I have them or a set of new ones back?

    Just FYI, when you remove these it's necessary to cut the rear clips that hold them on.

    Yes if you can provide us with a good quality used set, we will give you a free reproduction set. The originals you couldn't get back though.

    We'll need to repro #8 in the picture as well then. That the clip?

    If you end up reproducing a set in black, I'll take them.

    OK, I have a full set of those, but like I said, when I pulled them off (done two cars now) I had to cut them because the one tang pulls up through the wrong side and you can't get it back down and out the hole without taking the window out.

    If #14 is available new, I'd buy one. I can't help you with that.

    Do you have pictures at all of where you cut it?

    We will probably do a small amount in black. I know blacking out the chrome on these cars is quite the thing!

    Just got the OE ones from Greg then I plan to 3M matte black wrap w/ the other chrome on my car. Same thing happened to the two side windshield moldings.
