Front and rear glass clip kits???

[PCguylovesSupra]

Silly me for wanting to replace my windshield with a crack in it, or replace the moldings around the windshield that look like crap. Glass place says there is a clip kit needed, the dealership has no idea for the windshield. For the hatch glass, dealership says there are clips and gave conflicting info on weather or not they are needed if the molding are replaced too. Basically I am replacing the front windshield and the moldings also want the hatch glass resealed and new molding installed. The question is then what are the clip kits they are talking about, are they needed for the moldings, and are there after market clips that would work too. Look forward to any info and help on this matter.

Thanks

The glue from the windows holds the moldings in place.

Your dealer doesn't know what they're talking about.

there's the clips.

Don't say the urethane holds it in, it holds the clips in, which is what he wants.

I got new moldings and then they flew off because i didn't re glue.

I hope the moldings come with the clips that would be awesome.

that molding is like $180 just for the front. I went to the Toyota dealership and he quoted me for something close to like $500+..... I turned around and walked out.

$500 will buy you all the moldings on the car! (with discount)
Ask me how I know

The clips hold the molding to the windshield, the urethane holds the clips in place. Everything works together, but I didn't mention it because the OP stated he was getting a new windshield installed.

New moldings do come with clips, btw.

I used to work for LOF wholesale auto glass. We stocked clip kits for anything imaginable. Have your glass company call LOF (Pilkington now), or PPG, or even Safelite. It should not be hard to find them. LOF has over 100 service centers around the country, and can pull from any of them overnight if needed.

Yea I got all of the molding for under $500.00. I did however last year get a new front lower cowl that is carbon fiber, no more rusting out and only $20 more than from a dealership. Car is going to look so much better at the Indy2k10 meet.

Depending on which moldings you replaced I call BS...
Windshield (all three)
Drip Rail (hardtop)
Quarter Glass (both upper and lower)
Hatch (all four sides)
Not adding lower belt moldings, lower cowl panel or B pillar vents, DEALER COST (price what I pay) was over 750 for all the above mentioned. Ive just bought every moulding for mine so I know. So me thinks you didnt get ALL the moldings.
