Daytona and C500 Windshield trim - 04/07/11 05:01 PM
Can anyone help me with detailed photos of a Daytona or Charger 500 added side windshield trim piece. I am talking about the wide wind deflector on the A pillar.
Thanks, Joe

If noone has done it, I can do it from home with my Daytona and C500..
I'll look elsewhere until then and if I find something, I'll post.

Thanks, I have the deflectors, however I was not the person who removed them from the car. I have all the trim polished and wanted to install everything, doing it correctly the first time.

Joe,When you install them,it's easier to put the outer edge over the rain gutter,and start the screws,but don't tighten them all the way. The tabs on the edge towards the windshield go into the lap seam of the windshield gasket. It may be easier to unzip the gasketseam to get the screws started. Zip the gasket back together before tightening them all the way. Tighten the ones on the windshield side first. Then tighten the ones in the door jam. You may have to apply some pressure to get a tight fit. Pete

Thanks for the link. I didn't believe that the screws would show next to the windshield gasket. That was my reason for requesting pictures. I thought I was doing something wrong or was missing and additional piece of trim. I had the photos we took before disassembling the car however there were no detial photos of that area.
If you have the time and don't mind, a few more photos of the area at the windshield gasket would be awesome.
Thanks again, Joe

Yeap Joe, they rather grudely assembled them together. Gotta take the window seal channel out first, install the deflectors and then reinstall the window seal channel. This is the reason the Superbirds have two screws directly into the deflectors, don't have to mess around disassembling the car..
Yo Pete..

Thanks again troy! The pictures really helped! With a name like "The Bowtie Shop" you can see I'm not super familiar with a Charger!
Things are moving along great though!
