Need Molding for my windows
 
My windows look like bleep due to the decayed molding. The dealer can not get them. Is it possible to get them redone? I like the black color against the red/purple.

I'm a bit confused... you referring to the hard plastic and metal trim around all of the windows? That was only ever available in black. Sadly, yes, a lot of those pieces have been discontinued. Most you can buy new clips for and get them painted as you suggest.

Oh they have a black plastic cover, the inside looks chromed. Wonder if anyone could re coat them for me?

Ok, gotcha. They were actually rubber coated and had a lip which created a sealing surface against the glass. You could get them powder coated or professionally painted for a very durable finish.

You may want to consider using a SMALL bead of silicone caulk to seal them to the glass to prevent moisture from getting under them... Hard to say, you don't want to create a moisture trap but you don't want to let rain get forced in under it at 50MPH. I would probably caulk the forward and upward facing edges and not the others. I'm serious about it being a small bead too, you're just trying to seal it up a bit, not glue it on.

wonders if anyone would restore the plastic?
