Trimring doesn't fit

Postby Diemjoe » Wed Apr 08, 2015 2:33 pm

Hi,
I bought a couple of door windows with the trim rings. When I tried to line them up, there is a 1/4 inch gap on two of the four sides.

I placed white tape between the trim ring and the window to show off the gap

I spoke to Frank about it and he said that I should try pulling the trimring clip and resizing the ring. I'll try it tonight but was wondering if anyone had any tips and tricks so I don't wreck the trim ring.

Thanks

My advice... If it was me, I'd have whoever sold them to you make it right.
Make time for fitness and it'll make time for you.

It was an easy fix. Per Frank's Suggestion, I pulled the clips, realigned the metal ring, reclipped and it is all beautiful now. I even got the door window holes cutout and a dry fir of the windows done yesterday.

Now I just have to figure out how get the door handles installed, the skins glues on and hinges attached.
