Sir! I wish I had you to replace mine! The company that did mine did not do the upper trim right, the side panel clips did not reinstall right, did not replace seals like you did, and my antenna took a hit from them trying to install the rubber boot for that over and over. Great job!!👍🏼👍🏼currently have that wind noise so I have to take to some one in San Antonio. It has been to long with this noise! I see what I need to look for when they install things for an FJ.

I recommend to use the OEM top moulding as the replacement parts from aftermarket places usually don't fit correctly. Just my two cents. Great job alfredo !

Hey mate great work, in regards to cleaning the new windscreen we're using a product that we scrub on the ceramic to help remove the thin layer of silicone from when the glass was made. This helps with decontaminating. Because cleaning with glass cleaner isnt enough apparently. Regards from aus.

Please get the clip replaced. Eventually you'll lose that moulding at highway speed, and it'll either smash your windshield or fly off the truck.

@davidleek68866 жыл бұрын
Great job. Someone stole the top molding from my wife's FJ. Was there in the parking lot, came out after shopping and it was gone. I bought one. Curious on installing - do I just put it where it goes and pop it into the clips? Thanks!
@AlfredosAutoGlassRepairCorona6 жыл бұрын
David Leek Thank you for taking the time to watch my video to install it back on you will have to remove I believe to be a white clips that go under the glass and you would also have to clean off the urethane (the glue) that was used to re glue the molding down and then I apply primer on the molding if the urethane you’re using requires it but it all depends if you are using urethane that requires primer but honestly it if you could find a local auto glass shop it will probably be the easiest way,just so that won’t have to go buying tools and materials to install it back on.
@davidleek68866 жыл бұрын
Thanks appreciate that. Will take it in.
@ricksa27865 жыл бұрын
Not sure why anyone would steal it. The clips on it break upon removal and it becomes useless at that point. They are non reusable. Unless the windshield was replaced at one point in time and they probably charged the insurance for a new one and just glued the old one back on and eventually just blew off.

@timthetoolman55225 жыл бұрын
Agreed. I have a 2014 FJ. Right from the factory, the top molding began to vibrate terribly when on the interstate, especially driving into any wind. Of course, it began after the warranty period. I replaced the top molding with a new OEM part, but I ran the bead all the way from end to end. The vibration was fixed. The original factory installed molding did not have the bead all the way, and it vibrated.

Fairly certain you can get the clips as they often break...but.. its not uncommon the top trim gets the clip part broken on the panel itself...youll need a pro for the job as the panels getting broken at trhe clips is common and big bucks to replace...also the adhesive sealant on the top panel is required or it buzzes with the wind

FJ CRUISER 2013 Moulding Part Number/Description: 75503-35061-AO MOULDING SU O Toyota Of The Desert CA. $228.99 + $Five thirty nine? Tax 20.51 Total with clips attached $254.89 03/20/18. During this segment of the installation 17:50-18:08 a black adhesive? was applied along the inner top portion of the molding. I just snapped mine into place and am afraid to take it back off or is it completely necessary for total adherence to prevent vibration/wind noise. I did learn by taking a pair of needle nose pliers I was able to firmly grab the old brackets still attached to the vehicle and gently pull them in the downward direction to remove easily. Thank you
@AlfredosAutoGlassRepairCorona6 жыл бұрын
CRAZE156 It’s definitely recommended to reglue down the molding. I had some cases where the customer comes in with no top molding and It was because they did not apply urethane. But at the same time it was a poor installation altogether.

You do not need to put urethane on the top trim piece as long as you are using a new trim piece with all new clip. The reason this Fj had urethane on the one he took off was because this windshield had been replaced before and the previous installer did not know what he was doing. From the factory they do not glue the top molding/trim piece. If it is done right you do not need to glue it down.
