Side window applique

Post by ZaphodB »

Hi all, might anyone have a template to fabricate the black applique that is positioned between the front door and rear 1/4 windows? Thought I would check with you all before I do it by hand. Thanks in advance!!!

Vendors have replacements to stick on.

Tanks for the input, I know they can be had, but kind of wanted to keep costs down. BTW, I have done business with Mike, Jeff and Russ in the past! This is m third XR in 30+ years.

The easiest way after pulling all of the old tape off and cleaning/scuffing the area, mask it and spray it with a semi-gloss black paint. I did this on one of mine that we repainted years ago and you could not distinguish between the OE tape and my ad-hoc paint job.

The car had been repainted and the area was left body color. I ordered some semigloss black 3M adhesive vinyl wrap off the Bay and applied it. Worked out nicely.
