Restoring Side Window Rims & Clips on an AE86 Sprinter
Sat, 15 June 2002 14:51
Not that I have the money to get my AE86 Sprinter into showroom condition but I was wondering if anyone has any idea how to improve / restore the rims & clips around the side window glasses (both front & rear).
I initially thought they were rubbers holding the window to the body but on closer examination, they're actually long plastic strips that have been coated in some kind of thin plastic / rubber silicon to bond them all together.
Mine have deteoriated to a point where the exterior has worn off leaving the inner plastic strip exposed & some of the clips loose.
Is it a simple matter of sanding off the excess & repainting the strips & clips again? Or is there a special process to this?
Any comments would help. Thanks all for your time!
P.S. Perhap Hadyn (Aka Mr 20V) may have an idea? The surroundings on the windows on his car looked brand new.
