F-Pace Rear quarter glass molding
Got a small ding in the chrome molding surrounding the rear quarter glass. It appears that the molding is only available by purchasing the entire glass ? Is that right ....
|
Yup, found that out the hard way as well, and its about 350$ ....Brought it to the bodyshop for correction on mine...
|
Thanks - and it sounds like from what I can find the molding is near impossible to remove. Is the molding aluminum or SS. Considered trying PDR even ...
|
Actually the molding is removed easily, it has simple locking tabs. I think its aluminum with a Chrome finish, not 100% sure. I blacked mine out after dent removal |
That's exciting news. And so we are talking about the same window aren't we. The stationary side rear window behind the rear door ? Rear quarter panel ...
Wonder why Jaguar would only sell it mounted to the glass. If I can get it off we may do a little PDR work on it. |

Right, well you say the molding is easily removed. Do you mean once the glass is removed from the car ... or still in the car ?
And did a body shop remove the molding for you and attempt to repair it and re-install ? All without removing the glass from the car. |
You can actually easily (but carefully) peel the trim off, starting at the rear curve, glass stays in place . Bodyshop should have no trouble whatsoever doing it for you. I had a few dents in mine, it was quite easily corrected by the bodyshop. |
Thanks - sorry to have so many questions ... so the body shop removed it and removed the dent ?
Then was able to put it back on and it stayed in place ? Again sorry to bug you so much but this is exactly our issue and I don't mind spending the money but replacing a glued in OEM glass typically comes with issues down the road in my experience. |
“so the body shop removed it and removed the dent ? “ Yes. “Then was able to put it back on and it stayed in place ?” Yes. Glass stayed on the car, just the trim piece is removed, repaired and reinstalled |
