    Of all the sticky pieces I have repaired, this was the easiest. About 2 hours start to finish. The hardest part is undoing and replacing the 12 7mm nuts.

    The rear window trim comes apart in 3 pieces.
    7mm ratchet for 12 nuts
    Blue shop towels and lacquer thinner to remove old gunk
    Sand with 600 grit
    Re-wipe with lacquer thinner
    5 'misted' coats of SEM Trim Black spray paint
    Careful not to scratch newly painted pieces on decklid (esp the middle piece)
    Reattach nuts

    Looks great Billy. My 348 has the same issue. It's on my "to do" list.

    Funny... Everytime I get into one of these 'sticky' projects I think to myself: 'I should've called Robbie!' or: 'What would Robbie do?'
    You're the Master!
