Window bottom trim - Driver's side

Post by **simonc** » Mon Oct 31, 2016 9:16 am

Hi all,
As you can see, the door trim on the driver's side is somewhat mankey.

Is it a question of buying new 'tape' (I can see an obvious lip along the bottom edge) and sticking it on or does this mean a whole new fitment including the metal bar it sits on?

I've looked through Ling's site and, if I'm looking right, it's a case of 'this part no longer exists'.

Any advice would be welcome. Thanks as ever, Si.

dont think ive ever heard of anyone refurbing one of these window trims before - ive replaced the drivers side one on my BB1 with a second hand part in good condition and this what most folk do. they do come up for sale now and again and go for around £30-£35 a side. its quite a difficult job to remove them without breaking most of the clips.

Lo
My trim on my 5th Gen was looking a bit rough so I covered mine in black vinyl wrap

Mine wasn't damagedat the end like your's though , not seen that before

Good luck with your repair matey

vinyl wrap is a good idea - maybe 5th gen ones are easier to take off and put back on

most of the 4th gen ones ive seen have chunks missing out of them and are beyond repair

Thanks fellas, much appreciated info. I'll put the feelers out here and see if I can get hold of a good quality used 'rail'. I'll let you know how I get on. Thanks again.

I had a look on Lings and you can still get these brand new from Honda
