Can someone tell me what the rust colored thing outlining my windshield is? It's an ugly rust color and I'd like to replace it.
What's around my windshield?

It's a chrome plastic insert(and locks the windshield in), you can replace it fairly easy. You can also get them in black and they last longer 8^)
Edit: did a quick search, surprised no chrome one shows but you can search around... - http://www.pelicanparts.com/cgi-bin/...hield+moulding -

As a side note, most auto glass replacement places will have that strip in stock but I can't guarantee it'll be the highest quality version of it. I had one installed that way last year when my windshield broke and it still looks perfect though.Interested in vintage cars? Ever thought about racing one?

Back in the day everyone just replaced the chrome stripping with black. Obviously, the black will last the life of the car. It is cool to see a clean early model with fresh chrome stripping though."I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj
