HOW TO: Make those faded window moldings look good again.
Here is an idea for those who want to make their moldings look new again. For those who don't like to paint and deal with overspray and stuff this is easier and cheaper.
My friend gave me a roll of this molding tape that you can get at your local checker autoparts store. He got it where the pin-striping area is. I guess its like $3 bucks for a roll more than you need. This tape is pretty much like electrical tape, except it is much thinner and it flexes well. It sticks very well too! I guess it can sustain water good, but I have not tested it yet. The width is perfect on our 4 gens/CRXs, I did not have to cut it thinner at all, just cut to length. Here are the results.       I don't know the durabilty on this molding tape, but I'm sure it will last a while.

Its just vinyl type, has a UV life of about three years, its a bitch to take off when it starts to crack and stuff. Looks good for the time being though.

I don't plan on having my car in 3 years (let alone 6 months hopefully) so who cares, lol. I'll throw the tape on and be done.

Re: HOW TO: Make those faded window moldings look good again.
Nice. I wonder how good it sticks. My hatch molding broke on driversider recently at the bottom (was already cracked) but waited a whole day before gluing it down again so it sorta still sticks up nearer to the glass but is glued firmly to the metal part. Having it stick up though still bothers me so I may try some of that vinyl tape stuff.

Wow....thanks so much for the tip. It sure beats paying upwards of $80 for the mouldings from Honda.

This tape sticks very well, I had to redo my pass. side cause I screwed up, and it took a good snug to get the tape off.
