2001 Blazer X ?

01BlueS10 · 08-03-2005, 08:38 PM

Hey,
I went to go see a Burgundy Blazer X today, and the rear window pillars looked so dried, sun faded, burnt. Has this happened to other xtremes here in Florida or other sunny states??
What can be done to fix this?
Thanks for the info

XBLZR03 · 08-03-2005, 08:46 PM

are you talking about the black plastic pieces?

if so it happens to everyone.... back to black made it look a little better but it still sucks ass.... I'm just going to paint match em.

s10warehouse · 08-03-2005, 08:49 PM

if your talking about the trim on the q-panel glass then the answer is yes they do fade out and its very normal its not a xtreme blazer thing its a 95-up blazer/jimmy thing

uhm no their bonded to the glass and the quarter windows are like $100o each new

its the same way the trim is bonded to the vent windows you your ext cab truck

01BlueS10 · 08-03-2005, 09:18 PM

Can someone take a pic of it....
Im not talking about the rubber part, its hard plastic

s10warehouse · 08-03-2005, 09:22 PM

your talking about the trim on the back of these call it what you want its rubber with a platic like cover that fades away with age

Thanks for the help

01BlueS10 · 08-03-2005, 09:26 PM

dernoma · 08-03-2005, 11:35 PM

I am in complete agreement with s10w. My parents had a 1999/2000 Jimmy and the same thing happened to that. I remember seeing all kinds of black items like that crap out like you wouldn't believe. Do what everyone else is recommending, have them paint matched or painted black.

~M~

BLAZ1N · 08-09-2005, 09:35 PM

well for me it will be one in the same as mytruck is black

i would have to say color matched is better

unfortunately mine is pitted so bad that its going to need to be bondo'ed tp make it look right

03IndigoBlazerX · 09-13-2005, 01:03 PM

Not to bring back a dead post but mine are really really bad... As soon as I get my front clip back on, today or tomorrow that is my next project to rattle can them... I'm afraid they are eventually going to rot away to nothing... I was thinking of using the black bumper paint but I think i'd have a smoother finish if I did high build flexible primer, followed by a flat black basecoat and some rattle can clearcoat... Anyone else tried this route yet? I'm def. going to do before and after pics...

What kind of paint did they use? Looks very texturized, unlike the factory smooth... I kinda like it...

bud1lite · 09-13-2005, 05:26 PM

yup,my 2001 2dr 4wd is staring to fade too.In arkansas so who knows>

99xtreme · 09-13-2005, 05:31 PM

You must not have read up in the post... S10warehouse stated that it's molded with the glass. My dealer told me the same thing back in May... Its around $800... So best deal is to paint it. S10warehouse sometimes has them for a few hundred bucks... But good like catching one when he has them.

dernoma · 09-13-2005, 05:35 PM

I Had Mine Painted They Look Great Cost About 100 Bux Look In My Garage For Pics

I read all the posts...

The part I am talking about is not connected to the glass. I am talking about the black trim above the glass.. I know the one part is part of the glass.. The part I am talking about isn't... I'll have to take a picture... its the Trim around the window

s10warehouse Help.....

dernoma · 09-13-2005, 06:32 PM

all the black around the rear windows are connected to the windows, there is no removable trim on them I had the same problem...hell the blazer came from s10warehouse and he told me to paint it heres the picture of it done http://www.s10forum.com/garage/index...ge_mod&id=6835

s10warehouse · 09-15-2005, 12:24 AM

yeah i went to carsmetics, dont know if those are nationwide or not, only thing is they said it could last 6 months or it could last 6 years, but at 100 bux I get could get it done once a years cheaper then buying new ones that would do the same thing

***orangesonoma*** · 09-17-2005, 06:34 PM

stuntjester1 · 09-20-2005, 05:33 PM
