Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion
If you don't have experience with this type of repair, get some help from someone who has, or practice on scrap material first.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My car was resprayed by the PO, glass in, unfortunately. For the most part, the paint job is decent but around the seals there are hard lines and in some cases chips. Outside of a full respray (which I'm considering), is there anything that can be done to minimize the appearance of the chips around the seals?

POST 2Original post

It's worth a shot if you've determined it would require painting the top anyway. It looks like the previous clear didn't adhere well and is flaking at the margin. The first step would be to lift the windshield gasket and place a length of cord under it to expose and hold open that surface. The clear then would have to be carefully wet sanded and feathered back to where it is solid, without going through the color coat - very fine paper, say 1500 or finer to start. Degrease and clear (touch up gun or good quality rattle can, such as 2K) blending it back, followed by wet sanding and polishing to blend with existing finish. The strip in your photo can also be removed by removing the fasteners under the small plastic covers. The repair would be tedious and time consuming, but has potential. If you don't have experience with this type of repair, get some help from someone who has, or practice on scrap material first. Good luck with the repair.
