Title: Windscreen trim required
Post by Jeff on May 6^th, 2013, 4:47pm

Well this is a first. Something has fallen off me Scorpio. Thus I need a replacement trim strip that goes across the top of the windscreen.Not sure how this fits, will have to do some research unless anyone can tell me. Wonder if I need some new clips or something. It must have come off on recent motorway trip. Hope it didn't hit anyone!
Anybody got one?

Will look Jeff but not sure. Surprised it came out as it is fixed in with clips along the top of the screen. Cheers Lee

Thanks Lee...looks like there has been problems under the trim, there is some corrosion on the leading edge of the roof (under the trim strip) which has been painted, to check the corrosion, so maybe this led to clips not going back on as intended. Maybe a screen fitter can help, if I can find a reliable one. On my 300ZX forum a bloke replaced all his glass on his car and got excellent service from the screen fitter he used, so it is possible...although prob not v easy to find!
Let us know if you can find one. Just flogged a dead Scorp to a banger racer, should have saved that one. Typical...keep something for years then bin it, and sure enough you need it the next week. Grrrrr

Some of the banger racers will let you have bits they don't use I believe. see Wayne's posts
