Tabs on Rubber Trim Around Side WIndow?

Post by *Y* »

Hey guys,

I just wanted to find out what the plastic piece on the window trim is designed for. I took mine off and filled in the holes with some trim glue. It definitely made for a bit smoother look. Anyone out there do something similar?

I don't know if this would make much sence...
but I know that there are window visors made, I think that the wholes were made for people who wanted the visors... if not, they put that tab thing incase you changed your mind :0!!! :D lol

Ne whom, that's my input..

Tabs = Filler For holes For Window Visors! :D

That piece is a window guide, in case your window gets loose. I've never heard of it being needed. I sanded mine shiny again, because it's turning grey. I designed my visors to bow out around it.
It's fine to cut it off. Just be sure to leave the part inside the track.
