Where do i get this trim for a clone?

[BigBlockSam]

i like that car

[hotrod98]

I'm almost sure that most of the larger automotive glass shops carry the stuff. the glass shop that I use brought some of that type of molding last week for an Isuzu tilt cab that he was re-installing a glass in for us.

Shouldn't you concentrate on getting a car before piecing together a clone?

This thread is over a year old guys. Even I've changed my mind about projects a couple of times.

Don't remember the year for sure. Just drop by a decent glass shop. They should be able to help.

[billssuperbird]

thanks rav440 for all your help. as soon as i get this trim i will let you all know. can you tell me if the molding is off the front or back of the isuzu tilt cab.

[hotrod98]

Front windshield. The earlier Isuzus have the rubber channels similar to the early mopars and don't use a molding, but most of the newer Isuzus are installed using urethane. The urethaned windshields use the plastic molding. I would say that you could just tell them that you're interested in the windshield trim for a 2005 Isuzu tilt cab and be safe. GM tiltcabs such as the W4500 series are identical.
Don't buy it from a dealership since theirs is pre-cut to length where-as the glass shops use the bulk packaged style. They can just cut to length. If you continue to have problems finding it, PM me and I'll check with my glass supplier here. He might ship it to you.
I've seen the chromed style but it looks cheesy. Stay with the black.

[billssuperbird]

thanks for your help hotrod98. i will let you know if i get the trim.   

[daytonalo]

Here is a tip , CR LAWRENCE , they sell to the glass industry .

[billssuperbird]

thanks for all the help. i pick up the black plastic window trim for my superbird clone. i will get the  vinyl top in the spring.

[daytonalo]

Wher did you get it ??

[billssuperbird]

the molding came from a glass co call ryans auto glass. the molding is two pieces . its  off a chevy van. it is wide enough to fill the gap from the glass to the body. i hope this helps you. 

[hotrod98]

Any way that you could post a pic or two of the trim before and after installation and possibly a part number for the guys that might need one some day?
I"m leaving the back glass stock on my wife's bird clone so I don't need any glass trim for her's but might build another one with the altered back glass eventually.
Here's a clone that I looked at a year or so ago with the black trim. The trim is a little wider than I would like, but then again it might need to be that way on this car since the back glass was actually lexan.

[billssuperbird]

the part number for the molding is wktd1161. it comes with two rubber moldings + two metal caps. may kit did not have the caps.so i went to chevy for them . the part number for them is 14027097. this molding is the same width as the real superbird molding. my car has original superbird rear glass in it. when i get the top on i will take pictures.

[daytonalo]

I know why , but they should have been hardtops !!

[hotrod98]

Thanks. Looking forward to pics.

Here is my black window trim the glass shop had rolls of it no problem. yes they had chrome too but it dont bend very well and didnt look good. but any glass shop should have this.

[daytonalo]

A tip for the do it youselfers, on older cars with glass WITHOUT black band around glass , install Butyl tape on very edge of glass and then install in pinchweld , this way you wont see uneven Butyl tape from outside of car after trim is installed . I installed Glass for 5 years , just trying to help
