RE: {Chrysler 300} Rear Window Clips 300K

Hi Bill,

I am aware that the clips are available. The issue is to put new clips in requires removing the rear window.

I do not want to do that as it seals fine and the only rust us the top ¼ inch of the lower clips. The body looks nearly like new.

I was fishing for ideas to not have to pull the rear window.

I believe the clips are available. Are the mounting posts still there?

Hi All,

In previous 300K’s we were doing full body paint inside and out. On this car I am not.

I pulled the rear window molding and when everything was cleaned I had a very good new and sort of bad news thing.

The two lower corners where I have almost always seen rust issues looks very good. A little surface scale and that is about it. Although one cannot see it in the photos with an intense light and looking down past the seal the metal looks better the deep one looks.

The problem is the lower molding clips are shot. The tops have rusted away. I REALLY do not want to take the rear window out. The window looks good and seals.

My question to the group is does anyone have any creative solutions to this issue? I typically fill the space between the window rubber and the body with 3M rope mastic and then push the molding in. Perhaps this will hold it. It stays pliable for a very long time.

Thoughts? The car goes into the shop for a street paint job this Friday.
