    yeah gonna call some breakers tomoro,
    would've liked a new/ or repro since it bends so easily and once bent is too springy to be stuck back on = difficult to remove.
    tried a silicone sealant/adhesive in1 and it was black powerfull stuff but the spring in the part was too much.
    neobros and keith coopers dismantlers it is tomoro then

    Occasionally I have to fit these windows including re-using the trims, once I did a 740 est where a stone had gone through the drivers side one right out the other side through the passenger side one! If we have trouble getting the moulding to clip into place all we do is bond it on. Sometimes it looks great all the way along and there'll be just 1 clip that wont play ball, so its out with the bonding gun and tape! Always looks a great job after though. Good luck with it

    Question go the trim cant fit it!?!?

    got the trim and clips from the breakers...
    cant fit it tho,
    it has 5 clips that go over what look like nail head protruding from the panel but they slide on the plastic trim and then u have to line them up and push on to nail heads.
    however its near impossible to line them up so all go on at once!!!
    am i doing it correctly or is there a different method? haynes no use.

    This might be a little late now, but the proper way is to put all the clips onto the nail head things and then push-fit the trim into place. If done properly you will feel each clip snap into the channel on the rear of the trim. I believe there are 4 trims in total, one for each edge of the window, and I seem to remember they have to go on in a certain order but this may not be a problem for you as you only have 1 trim removed. Hope this helps!
