    Dude you gotta take out the two windows in the boot to get those rear window molds off. That's what I had to do when I got it sprayed. There is about 20 nuts per window and then you can take the molds off after that.

    Are you talking about the moulds on the outside of the car or the bits inside the car as my trim in the cargo area is screwed, went to a self serve wreckers and all the other wagons had cracked trim in the same spots as well...

    Sounds like a good little project idea. What sort of paint are you using to spray the moulds? I used those cans of primer and black and clear-coat paint to respray my filing cabinet a few months ago, but I found the finish from that scratched off too easily.

    Those stock grey window mounds just aren't that flashy, are they? Black, here I come!

    hey mate,
    it makes alot of a difference i personally think,
    I took them of an sanded them down with a very fine wet an dry an then let that dry then applyed a coat of primer, let that dry for a few hours then applied coats of black spray paint i brough from autobarn for $19, i did a few coats an i just let them dry in the shed for 2 days probally doesnt need that but i did it just to be careful an put them back on the car,
    hope this helps you
    VN Wagon,
