Re: Windshield Sealant around Stainless Molding

BigKev, my stainless trims weren't happy to stay securely in the slots in the new windscreen seal, they just wanted to pop out so needed some type of glue to keep them in place especially along the long top run. Sides were ok, they tended to stay in place in their slots. The corners are ok too, as you said - they are held in place by the corner bits. The contact was only to hold the stainless in place and not to stop water getting in. I can peel the stainless off the rubber if I need to, it is not permanent.

Maybe some stainless trims are a really good fit but I went through mine (- have three sets) and picked the best but none of them were a happy fit. It makes me wonder about what the Manual says - ' . . . attach the trims to the seal before inserting the glass into the body . . . '.I wonder how many people have tried doing it that way? And - did it work?
