Front/Rear window trim

[cjannelli]

I've purchased Porsche brand front and rear window seals with plans to replace the 26 year old seals on my carrera. I also purchased "chrome" trim pieces from Vertex. Anyone have experience with these trim pieces? Do they fit?

Sub'd, as bright window trim is on my short list.

Didn't Carreras have black window trim, not chrome? I thought chrome trim was dropped around 1979-80??

I'm correcting Porsche's mistake of going to black anodized trim!

Hey Arne,
I'm hoping to finish the "trim" revision in the next month or two. I've got the pieces for the rear quarter windows as well. When I get back from vacation, I'll be contacting one of the glass shops in Eugene to get help with window work
Best,

I just put in front and rear glass. It was not nearly as bad as people says. About a year ago I installed quarter windows. The trim on those was a pain.

My real concern is the replacement "bright" trim pieces. They arrived in perfect shape and seem to be correct in size. I assume they're aftermarket. If anyone has experience with the vertex product, I would appreciate feedback. I'm not averse to going with Porsche brand if there is a clear advantage.

Keep me posted on the progress. Or call me and we can meet for lunch while you're up here.

Side topic, your wheels ever make it back yet?

Maybe we can have a quick impromptu tech session while you are in town.

That one be great! The wheels should be done soon, I will let you all know as soon as I know!
The wheels are getting close. It's only been around ten months. They will be fantastic!
Arne, Lunch would be nice.
