Window molding question

[aldive]

What do you use to clean and detail the rubber trim molding around the windows?

I use Stoner's Trim Shine.

I use Stoner's Trim Shine.

How long does it last?

 

[Hartman]

It depends on how much it rains, but I usually touch it up every month when I do my detail. I think I have also used Megs Endurance and it lasts quite a while but it's a little messy. Once you get that stuff on the windows, it's a pain to get it off.

Meguars rubber protectant.

No no no Mothers Back-To-Black. It has a polymer in there that lasts way longer than a shine treatment. I use it once every 2-3 months and it stays nice and shiney wet black. Mine were grey before I used it... I was shocked at the result. Its like 6.99 a bottle, but 2 bottles lasted me a year.

You can use a buffer after the back-to-black sets, this gets you that shine hardcore.

Sorry to rob this thread but...

...I didn't know what this part was called or how to describe it without any pictures so I borrowed this one since it was perfect.

That thin piece of black metal molding that seperates the larger rear window from the smaller rear window is what I need info on. On my X, it has been rusting for some time now and I have a feeling that sooner or later its going to freeze up the rear power windows. What is this thing called and where or how can I get it replaced? Thanks!

 

[MONMIX]

rear window channel or window run.

 

[ohe_boy]

can I have just this part replaced or do I have to replace the whole frame? door?

 

[MONMIX]

It comes as the channel and the glass.
The whole thing looks like the letter P
