I'm getting together what I need to install the front/rear glass after paint.

Is the molding retainer/molding fastener required for install of generic molding?

I just want to use readily available generic moldings for the install. I'm hoping that I don't have to use the retainer so replacement of the molding years down the line doesn't require pulling the glass back out.

I dont believe so. I had a mobile guy from racq glass come out and replace mine recently. I opted to go genuine nissan on all the seals, but he said i could of just gone generic seals for around $30.

$30 sounds alot better lol. I'll put that money towards a quick/easy mobile install

I've just been watching glass install vids and alot just use the rubber molding when the glass goes in. this is done on a variety of cars. I just didnt want to get my assumption roadblocked by bs Nissan 90s quirks.

Did you manage to get the front windscreen out without it breaking? When i had my seals replaced, i was also up for a new windscreen.

Hell no. I took my time with it too. That's the main reason I want to make it easy as I can If/when the molding needs replaced again.

    • No-one in Aus/NZ would pay that much, because they remember when a turbo Skyline/Silvia was a cheap but awesome alternative to the mediocre shit sold here locally at the time. I'm sure over in USA there are enough trust fund kids who will have their R34 GTR, whatever the cost
    • I am stuck with enthusiast and very unhappy, even though Lumley, Shannons and Famous are all options, they all require a lock up garage, and my situation (basically a walled off compound from the street) is insufficient because the car is under a carport. I'm confident to resolve the situation I need to build a roller door with fascia in-front of my roller gate which is a solid opaque metal rolling gate. In any other universe moving the roller door 2 meters in-front of the garage door would still constitute the same amount of security but oh no. My insurance rates suck to the point of when I joined a market research for Enthusiast they were all surprised that I paid about 2-3x what other people were paying with Enthusiast when I asked them why their rates were so high. If I lie about having a garage, I save like $10 a month with enthusiast. (It's about $2600 p.a for 5000km of driving for a very unsustainable agreed value). Lumley has terrible reviews but @Duncan made me consider calling them when renew time came up - but their horrible reviews plus Christmas time made me... forget.
    • Not far. If all you want to do is know that they will reciprocate and move oil around a tiny bit, then a metre or so is all you need. Half metre fore and aft is enough.
    • That's the spirit!
    • It's fine. Basically if it has seized (eg due to moisture/rust in the bores) it will either break free on the starter or it won't turn....then you'll know it is freed up If it turns and doesn't start (reasonably likely) you will need to troubleshoot but most likely issue is a seized injector from moisture; same if it starts but missfires. Anything else could have happened (eg mice nibbling electricals) but the only way to find out is to close your eyes and hit the key I'd also change the fuel filter again after a few minutes of running as it may catch a heap of crap on first start
