xg window trim

Recommended Posts

hi all. just wondering if there is any way to remove the piece of trim aroung the outside of the rear window without doing too much damage to the rest of the car. i have a set of roll bars that are bolted into an xh window trim so im wondering what the best way to install them without too much damage or modication.

the window trims come off from the inside, need the head lining dropped for the top ones i think. i haven't done them before just seen how they attach. 

 

got a photo, sounds unusual..

I’ll look into that. And I could get a photo but my phone won’t let me upload them. Says the files are too big

The white Ute in the pic is an xf that they were fitted to with the xh trim. I’m trying to figure out how it was done. 

that ute in the pic is an XH, it's got rounded roof edges. (XH mirrors and bonnet slopes off a lot in the pic hard to tell though)

what makes you think it's an XF?

Square front end and a lack of 4.0 ouch badges

if it looks like this on the front, it is an XH.. actually this pic from grays online doesn't have 4.0 badges either.

the roof edges are rounded on the sides on XH
XD XE XF XG all have sharp edges rather than a curve, this is probably why the XH window surrounds are different.

the xh rear window trim is just held in with clips (they fly off at about 220kph) if you dont care about the donor car just use a wide scraper or flat blade screwdriver to flick it off, if you do care about the donor some interior removal tools will do the trick

Donor car was at wreckers do bars are already removed. Care about keeping the xg in tact when I put them on

Curious about just how you figured out the speed at which the trims will come off...
pretty sure the xd to xg trims are bolted on from the inside, requires headlining to be removed to get to some of the bolts
And yes.
As Dean and Thom said XD/E/F/G ute rear window trims bolt in. Headlining has to be dropped for most of the top piece bolts to be undone.
