truth... just got new windshield and there's little plastic clips that attach to the body that then attach to the trim.

Glas companies replace the clips because they usually break when you take the trim off, but they will re-use the trim pieces on the sides. If you want new ones, go to the dealership.

The ones in the first pic are beyond saving by repairing. It looks like there's parts of the rubber completely missing.

Like Teal said there are a few plastic clips holding it to the body, which if i had to guess are probably fairly cheap from Honda.

I tried sliding them up but the plastic was so brittle it just broke anyways, so i would suggest just get a flat head screwdriver and CAREFULLY pry starting at the bottom closest to the hood hinges. Once it starts moving or breaks it comes off fairly easy.

My plastic clips were installed with the factory windshield and to my knowledge the car never received another windshield so they are from 1993-94 and were BRITTLE. I wouldn't try to save them. Would just cause you grief in the long run if they break with the new moldings on there.

My 2 cents anyways ;-)

I searched based on my 2 dr DX but i don't think there is a difference with the 4drs.

Forgot i had that search saved, when i get a chance i'll run a search on the 4dr and see if they are the same.

thats the 4 dr search, part numbers are different but prices look the same.
