This is new to me.   I never thought of it and didn’t realize it could be done.

 

someone removed their quarter windows and reinstalled w aftermarket rubber bulk stripping.

I caught this on an image of a car and looked closer

This is from a 1984 CRX dx on BAT (twice now) out of Texas.  I’ll attach the link once the auction is over.  Picture of the BAT pictures.  A bit grainy.

 

I didn’t realize it was possible to bend this think of molding around that tight of radius.   This was done pre 2019 as reviewed from the first BAT auction.  pix taken from 2023 auction.   It takes skill to make those radii wo wrinkles

 

New to me.  Has anyone else successfully done this? Tricks?

I’m use to stock on my 87 has one white “hold down” clip underneath this area of the stock rubber.  I suppose they were able to cover it

 

Maybe rubber trim w an extra lower lip to catch the glass underneath to keep the rubber from slipping back up….

I was chatting w a guy from Austin Radwood yesterday.  Said this car was there in 2019.  Hasn’t been back since.  Heard the story of the Honda mechanic who brought ut back to life…

I looked through several catalogs trying to find some that I thought might work. Never found anything though. JC whitney used to have a silhouette of the moulding shape cutaway. Shouldn't be too hard to find something for someone with the patience.
