Quarter glass question

[90gtstang]

Has anyone ever tried those cheap qt molding gaskets they sell instead of replacing the glass? Do they work? or a waste of money?

Not that bad. I used them once and actually bought another set to use on my other fox. The only thing is they don't sit really flush like the whole window.

But for $60 opposed to $300+ for the whole glass I think it is worth a shot.

Just redo your molding, It's really not that hard and looks a lot better when your done IMO.

 

[90gtstang]

how do you do that??

Easy.. Just a little light sanding to get rid of the chalky layer on top then use a little liquid shoepolish (in the applicator bottle) and youre done. I usually do that once a year or so on the car in my sig. HTH

That's for slight pitting. To correctly redo it you need to use flexible molding filler. It's sort of like Bondo in the sense that you use it to fill in low spots and sand it to make it even. When your done you paint it with special rubber/trim paint. It takes a while depending on how bad they are but they come out just like they were from the factory when done correctly. If you have never done that type of thing I would suggest getting help or just going for the covers.
