robrado974 1 Posted June 12, 2018 Evening chaps . I have a question, is the small trim that covers the rear screen , is it supposed to be stuck down ?. Obviously the screen is bonded so no water can get in , but what about the small trim . Kind regards Rob Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VEEDUBBED 0 Posted June 13, 2018 Rob, the Outer trim has a lip that fits around the glass, gonna be a bugger to get it to sit flush now as it is fitted before bonding in the rear screen.. No way you'll be able to refit the trim properly without removing the glass, I suppose you could glue it on using the black bonding glue used to glue in the glass but it's awful stuff and sticks like a bastid if you get it on your hands, bodywork etc..

It sits in flush , but along the bottom edge near the wiper I can lift it out , so when it rains or gets washed the Channel it sits in gets water in it .

VEEDUBBED 0 Posted June 13, 2018 Right, No easy way of getting the sod to sit even either bar gluing it down. Just use a few small blobs of black silicone sealant then, just in case one day it needs removing, as the actual rubber surround is getting rare now and spares are hard to find in good nick and are usually stuck fast to the hatch's frame..
