I just bought a used one on eBay for right around $100. I still had to repair with high build primer and repaint, but I had broke mine removing it so I had to have one.

There’s no way to fix that. Not that hard to replace. There’s 9 bolts and then butyl tape holding them in. Used ones pop up on eBay, kinda pricey.

Dang, i was hoping not to have to buy all new since the glass is new. Thanks for the reply.

That's not the original radio for a Mustang.

That's a 87-89 Lincoln Mark 7 head unit. Should say E8LF-19B165-AB on the side somewhere

They also put them in the Thunderbird Super Coupes. Not sure what years but my '92 has that head unit.

Project update.
I'm taking off all the trim to prep her for paint. But i'm stuck on what to do with the quarter glass. The molding around mine is torn away. Seems like everyone here uses a high build primer, sands, and paints it like new. Is there another option for me besides replacing the whole window?

I'm not sure how good these pieces are or how they look on a car but I've found this for quarter window trim.

Hey Thanks!
I actually found of a set of used ones on facebook marketplace for cheap. They arn't perfect, but they are in much better condition than mine. i'll be doing that high build primer and paint to restore it. Has anyone who's done this before used a special type of paint for these? or can i just use any black i see fit?
