does anyone know if the trim that goes around the hatch window just pulls off? or do they rip? when you replace the window do you have to get a new one?

Yes you can pull it off, however, if you really want to make it look better, you can just sand it down, and paint it over. I have done this numerous times to my last two integras, in which these trims were severly faded.

Or you can go to Acura and pay for some new ones. Up to you.

Im pretty sure you can reuse it, and they should be able to put it back on along with the new window.

If you wanna get crispy new everything, then just order a new one at Acura. Shouldnt be that expensive...

its $150 for a new one

A window install place should be able to reuse the one you have now. Usually they give you the option to get a new one along with the window. Thats completely up to you.

Usually where i get my honda parts is online through an actual dealership. They always have everything in stock and shippin is fast, not to mention you dont pay full price.
