Glass should be the same. Quote Selected

Re: New rear window - $2600! Reply #18 – September 28, 2019, 04:59:30 PM Not sure if I misheard, but I got new windshield AND rear glass installed today for a $558 total invoice. Glass looks great, as does the new molding. Supposedly last one in the Northwest!50 miles of Thunderbird driving. About the same miles as it has seen over the last 5 years.

Re: New rear window - $2600! Reply #19 – September 30, 2019, 02:52:40 AM On one of the Facebook groups, I saw a guy who had Safelite cut out and reseal his rear glass in an 88, and then use a universal window trim. To the untrained eye, it looked pretty good. Quote from: Jeremy Belcher – on September 25, 2019, 02:10:29 PMAren't '87-'88 the same PN?The 88 came with the window molding preinstalled. That's the one thing I miss about having an 87 over an 88. I hate this rear window molding. Quote Selected
Re: New rear window - $2600! Reply #20 – September 30, 2019, 12:12:47 PM Would be interested in looking at that universal molding. Would be good moving forward as more people need replacements.My plan right now is to stock up on all the intact ones that I can find at the junk yard (along with other rubbers, and tail lights). At $12 from the yard, a good molding would be worth storing slathered in silicone grease, wrapped in saran wrap, and in diy boxes. Quote Selected

My September 87 built 88 has the metal rear window trim. I don't recall seeing many 88s in the yard (well back in the day when they used to be plentiful) with the rubber rear window molding, except really late (March 88 on) builds. Quote Selected
