Default 4th gen hatch molding missing / gap

Hello all, 1994 formula here with the high rise spoiler hatch. The molding “lace” that runs along the bottom of the hatch glass is missing and there is a gap full of old weather stripping adhesive between the glass and deck lid. I can’t find that molding anywhere and I don’t care to make even more of a glue mess if I could find it.

have any of you guys filled this area in with black caulk or black urethane? Any ideas or recommendations?

these are not pics of my car. Just pics showing what I’m talking about.

Default 4th gen rear hatch glass lower molding

Hello all, 1994 formula here with the high rise spoiler hatch. The molding “lace” that runs along the bottom of the exterior hatch glass is missing and there is a gap full of old weather stripping adhesive between the glass and deck lid. I can’t find that molding anywhere and I don’t care to make even more of a glue mess if I could find it.

have any of you guys filled this area in with black caulk or black urethane? Any ideas or recommendations?

A guy online fills these gaps on busses with black urethane caulk. Some recommended silicone but I think the edges on silicone won’t be as good.

Default Solved

I used black urethane caulk, masking tape, and my finger to fill it. Looks nice I think. Incase anyone is interested or has the same problem.
