    Default WTB: black trim piece at bottom of windshield

    OK, what I need is in the title.
    The piece goes from side to side and is held by about six screw/bolts.
    Had the windshield replaced this morning right before the McKinney hail storm and it was broken off before he started.
    Darn meteroites got my screen!
    My trim is broken at the right side and I'd like to replace it.
    I haven't priced a new one but thought I'd ask here first.
    Anyone have one laying around?
    TIA.

    Sorry to say it, but that piece is like a finish panel, not cheap and hard to find undamaged.

    Both of these pieces on my parts cars were broken. Gary or Titus might have one, though.

    Not sure what the one on my parts car looks like. I will check it out the next time I'm out there but it may be a while.

    For that price it would be better to buy a new one, than to buy something used that will break a month later.

    I glued mine back on my 99. Sammm has the same problem with his 99 too. It seems to be a stress point at the far right hand side of the piece. Ours broken at the last screw hole on the right hand side. I glued mine back. You can not tell unless look close.

    Its kinda like the 90-93 filler panels and M1 gauge hoods.

    Even if you find a good one, it probably will be broken by the time you install it.

    Yes I do, except I don't have the piece that broke off. The get very brittle with age. I'd buy a new one.
