ATOYOTA

Are we gonna go up in a convoy or just meet at the place? Car rides are a pretty boring thing when you're alone and without a stereo. I might bring an esky and some meaty goodness if it'll fit in the rolla.

The trim is pretty easy to remove; just get a flat blade under one corner and run it down the length of the seal a couple of times until it gently lifts off. I had a go at a corona at the wreckers and it was easy, but their KE70 was a mission because the seal had gone all hard and crackly. I had to destroy the seal to get it off intact. I'll hopefully be installing in mine later today so I'll keep you posted on how it goes. Ok, just finished installing (most of) the trim for the rear window. It's a bit of a headache, but if you have the patience it'll wedge right in. Try and resist the temptation to just push it in, as the lips on both sides of the seal will go under instead of over. If you get the stew diver on the right angle you can slide it up the seal, lifting bit by bit and slowly pry it in.

Saw this today off Boundary/Beaudesert Rd. http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/7016-4x4/

The chrome is just decorative. I've had a closer look at the rubber and it's by no means supported by the trim. The one I saw today had fallen apart and the plastic was like rice crackers. If keeping the integrity of the old window seal isn't a priority (i.e. wreckers' car), I could just cut the rubber to get it out. Then let future me deal with getting it back in. Future me's a dick anyway probably.

Had a look at the trim today. It was broken so I didn't get it, but from the looks of it it's just held under the lips of the rubber seal. No clips, no adhesion. I reckon a heat gun and some TLC would get them off and on without too many "oh ʞ©$ɟ"s. Still looking but I'm sure I'll find some. They'll really set off the venetians I just threw in there the other day (car pornography. Car.....nography).

Wikipedia also says that some *E7*s came out with a 2T........ They say that when you lift the bonnet, rainbows come out!

I think what he means is 'was there a DX AE71 ever produced, or was it only the flat front KE70s that came in DX?'. They made DX slanty KE70s though, didn't they?

Ta, brah.

You can put me down as a PHUCK YEAH! Can you add the actual address of the place in the first post? I've never been.

Yeah, I was planning on just jimmying it with a couple of flat blades, but I don't know if there's a better approach or not. I could go over it with the heat gun and then maybe try lifting it off with the stew divers.

I think this belongs in the 'Wanted To Buy' section.

Ok, I already Googled and checked the forums but I'll try again. Ta.

Howdy doody, I'm going to be pulling the chrome trim off the rear window of a KE70 to put on my own and don't know how to go about it. I don't want to bend or break it so I'm asking you guize. Ta, brah.

D: Like it just drove off the showroom floor! HAVE MY BABIES PLEASE.

When I read "Diy Fiberglass Roller", this was not what I had in mind...

That's a phucking sad thing to happen man, I really feel for you. If some anal discharge took my pride and joy I myself know I would want to catch them and mount their heads somewhere clearly visible on the car so as to deter any future arse phucks from touching my girl. Good luck with finding theses cun7s, I hope you save some lower intestines (or maybe a kidney) for me when you gut them.

That actually kinda sounds like fun. Sliding around like hoons.

I wasn't before, but now you've kinda made me imagine that. Thanks. I was just about to go to bed too.

Well err I uhh... was hinting that you might have sat on a phonebook... But now I'm slightly uncomfortable. And a little scared.

Did you notice something yellow and thick between your arse and the seat? Do you remember having just looked up the address for something, then forgetting what you were doing? Did your seat belt seem like it was closer to the end of its reel? Were any of the above also symptoms along with your head brushing vinyl, per chance?

I'm 6'2" and drive mine around every day with the seat yanked forwards, knees almost touching plastic. That's just how I like to drive, but I still have plenty of head/moveabout room. My brother's 6'5" or so, and his boofy hair was brushing the ceiling when he sat in it.

See what I did there...

Well when you're the Wizard of Car oz it pays to know all the little critters in the kingdom.

Just went to Harry's and saw a really nice purple KE70 with quadlights, front lip and flares. I cargasmed.

The only times I've ever skidded have been addicental... but still awesome.
