15.2.2 Window Trim

This entry is part 4 of 9 in the series 15 - Interior

The kit comes with interior trim pieces for the windshield and rear windows. Apparently, these were made from molds that don’t exactly match the windows. Which means that they require a lot of work to get them to fit and even then, they don’t. So I decided (on the advice of other builders) to make my own.

Here’s the right rear window. The plexiglass is covered so it doesn’t get scratched during building.

I covered the window area with duct tape. Here’s the right rear window.

Then I covered the edge with four layers of BID.

Top is the factory left rear window trim and bottom is mine.

In the middle is my one-piece windshield trim and the two-piece factory trim. The windshield trim doesn’t need to be one piece but it’ll be easier to trim it to fit than try to make it bigger.
