BG Pillar Moulds

Astinadroxycuts · 24-09-2009, 04:30 PM

Just wondering how do you unscrew one of these

And where to source a pair from

And how much are they?

S373N · 24-09-2009, 04:31 PM

yeh dammit
someone sell us some

derb · 24-09-2009, 06:07 PM

1 screw at the top on the side that the door closes over, then push then towards to the roof/back of the car and they slide out.

i got legit mazda replacements from mazline parts world in NZ and even with postage it was cheaper than getting them here. otherwise scour every wreckers everywhere.

I still have a brand new pair for sale:

Also, it's important to bend the trims out slightly at the top before pulling them off as described above. If you don't, you'll almost certainly break off a piece of the top part of the trim. Obviously if the trims are already broken you don't need to worry about this.

Alternatively, there's a pair on ebay at the moment.....

I'm in no hurry....

Ghoru · 25-09-2009, 01:26 AM

or if trims are all ready broken just smash the rest off

Golden Oldie · 25-09-2009, 08:13 PM

I still have all my BG moulds and this is just a curiosity question/s?

Those black plastic moulds/garnish running down each side of the windscreen....I am blown away with the amount of BG's I have seen with these missing. Was it a fault or do they blow off easily? Is there a safe way to remove them so I can stick them down more secure, just in case!

I kinda feel lucky to still have mine and don't want them to go AWOL on me.

thanks heaps.

Ghoru · 25-09-2009, 08:20 PM

they dont "blow off" they crumble,crack and shatter

Oh! OK. Must be crap plastic then. Mine still look pretty good for their age. Knock wood!

Ghoru · 25-09-2009, 08:24 PM

mostly sun damaged, i grabbed mine getting in the car and it fell apart on me

Madd_Maxx · 25-09-2009, 08:26 PM

And they rattle like crazy on the highway :@

OUCH!

I will keep that in mind. Thanks

Golden Oldie · 25-09-2009, 08:30 PM

So I had better leave well enough alone, eh? They might crack if I try to remove them

I was hoping I could take them off and put a bit of silicone behind them, just in case. No so sure, now.

Ghoru · 26-09-2009, 05:50 PM

if your careful you should be right...as soon as a get some new ones im going to try and make a cast for them , make copies and sell them to fellow AGT users for cost hopefully

LOL! from what I've seen, it would be easy money

So many BG's without 'em!

Ghoru · 01-10-2009, 08:53 PM

yeh i could make money out of it but i would do it more so to help all my BG peeps out

Rupewrecht · 01-10-2009, 09:48 PM

Hah, you wont make money out of it. For the time and effort, it's easier to just go to Mazda and buy them

Astinadroxycuts · 01-10-2009, 09:52 PM

I picked 1 for 40$ so it is the effort ....

70NYD · 01-10-2009, 10:07 PM
