Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do I choose the right fasteners for a repair?
Start by matching the material - metal panels require different fasteners than plastic trim. Size and style matter, too. Using fasteners designed for specific vehicle areas ensures a secure fit and prevents damage over time.
2. Can I replace my windshield molding without professional help?
Yes, with the right tools and clips, windshield moldings can be replaced without visiting a shop. The key is careful removal of the old molding and proper cleaning before installing new clips and seals to avoid leaks or wind noise.
3. What’s the best adhesive for sealing car windows?
