Fix Your Pitted Foxbody Mustang Quarter Window Moldings S03E53

Here's how to fix the 1/4 window moldings on your 1987-1993 Mustang Fox Body. You can do this at home with a few products that won't break the bank but maybe take up some of your time. These windows were in pretty good shape to begin with but it is why I stress the use of a proper filler and not to just build up lots of primer that won't flex under various conditions! Hopefully you find this video helpful!
Some products are no longer continued...so I have substituted for what I use today.

Here in the SW High altitude desert sun has backed mine hard and brittle. Whole sections have chipped away. Already have replacements that sadly aren't logo'd but at least won't detract. Great technique. If I can find a salvageable set I'll have to give it a try.

@TheInfamousProject 3 года назад

For sure! I have the non branded pair on my 90GT and I can already see a few spots cracking. The aftermarket stuff is just never as good! Try it out for sure

@zachnuketown Год назад

@@TheInfamousProject i mean I'd love to but can't agree. Ford at least used a hardener in their primer I'm sure. I've been professionally painting for 3 years now and bodywork for 8+ but ive been into old rusty cars forever. I've done everh repair you can think of from good to bad and can assure you're better off investing in a compressor, gun and cheap primer set up or buy 2k aerosol primer like eastwood which is just as easy to use and much more durable. As a professional painter the only time I use aerosol primer is as etch primer before urethane or big bare metal cut throughs before sealer.

@andyfreitas5651 3 года назад

Thanks Chris! Some good advice on this kind of repair! What’s your thought on leaving the windows on the car to do this repair?

@TheInfamousProject 3 года назад

You could! Just be sure to protect the paint! Maybe wedge some playing cards behind the molding and mask everything accordingly

@larrybenthall2325 3 года назад

Awesome! I want to ask, do you have an extra set of quarter windows for a 92 notch that I can buy from you? Thanks

@Idiotsincarshere 2 года назад

Can this be done without taking the trim off the car? I don't trust myself to remove the trim without snapping it.

@Thumb_Coast_Aerial_fpv Год назад

I haven’t restored these in years, looking to do it again on a different fox. So I was wondering is that red tube the polyester glazing putty to ? Or is it a different product in the smaller tube? I figured I probably would never use that whole can. Thanks mane !

@cashmoneyv197436ify 3 года назад

Polyester gazing conpon dose it come in smaller tubes in with the smaller tubes do u have to use harder?? Cool video

@TheInfamousProject 3 года назад

Yes hardener is used with this mix. I believe I saw some smaller tubes. If not with the Evercoat it was with ProForm

@maskedmumbler4127 3 года назад

Amazing video! I’m restoring my fox, but the previous owner painted over all of the moldings. What grit sand paper do you recommend to remove the paint off the quarter windows without further damaging the molding?

@TheInfamousProject 3 года назад

Like a 240 or maybe 320 depending how fast you cut through the paint

@JoseGarcia-dk3mb 3 года назад

Nice video!! I am getting ready to re spray all my trims. In your experience is the mar-Hyde brand a better option than the SEM trim black? Or is mar-Hyde best used for quarter moldings? Thanks.

They are both the same caliber imo

Where were you able to source the products used? Local auto body supply or a chain? Wondering where I can source them in the Ottawa area?

@86caliente_18 3 года назад

Carquest, napa, or your local autobody and paint suppliers

@paulbalzarano 2 года назад

While this is a very solid plan there are also quite a few issues with your procedure. I'm a body man, so I'm not speaking just to speak. First off, I'd never apply any product to raw rubber without hitting it with an adhesion promoter. There's rattle can versions that do just fine. Second I wouldn't use a urethane primer. It's porous and will allow moisture to get down to the rubber. I'd use an epoxy primer instead. It will seal off your polyester coat and lock out everything. The urethane primer also tends to shrink up quite a bit, especially being black on top. It will get hot and shrink. The 3 coats of primer on something like this is unnecessary. Use any sort of guide coat and finish it off with 320. 1 tac coat and 1 good coat on top is more than enough. Finally, never use brake cleaner before applying paint. Use alcohol instead, only use alcohol.

@TheInfamousProject 2 года назад

We all have our own ways! I have done many sets with no issues to date (years and weather extremes etc). Theoretical vs Practical I guess. If one of them fails I'd for sure re-consider the process.

@vondy4956 Год назад

Hey man, couple questions for ya if you could answer them. I found the eastwood 2k aerospray and wondered if that would be a good epoxy primer for these. Also, should I use regular 91% or denatured alcohol? I'm doing a restoration for my dad and want to do it right so it lasts.

@adyrysae 3 года назад

Is the glazing putty step 100% necessary? Can you high build prime sand and paint If pitting is minimal?

@TheInfamousProject 3 года назад

Depends on your definition of minimal lol. If 2 coats of of the primer fill the hole and is not visible after sanding then yes. If you are putting on more coats to try and FILL the voids, then no.

@thefitprk3 7 месяцев назад

Do you need to do any prep to the trim before using the putty? Other than a good wash I assume

@TheInfamousProject 7 месяцев назад

I scuff it down in the needed areas

@robertcampbell1307 2 года назад

The previous owner of my 1987 Fox Body Coupe had the quarter glass painted the same color as the vehicle! They are cracking now and I was wondering how hard it would be to take the paint off and do the procedures that you have shown in the video?

@TheInfamousProject 2 года назад

It can be done... You'll have have to sand off all of that old paint and make sure there are no stress cracks left!

Cracked generally means someone else tried to fix them and the repair is failing.... Unless you can sand off whatever is on there I wouldn't recommend it

Ive done a few recently. I did use adhesion promoter before using putty, and before using 2k primer. I sprayed with SEM trim black in my HVLP spray gun, as the ones i did for my own car 12 years ago were done from an areosol can and there was minor texturing. Sprayin from a gun has the best results that ive found. Ive also started to wetsand the primer aswell. Results can be seen on my instagram if interested @d_notchback
