Re: 55 400 lower windshield trim

Hi as was suggested i did fabricate two more clips and did install them It did help to close up the slot but did little to hold the trim in place. It seems that the bottom trim will not conform to the shape of the windshield and tends to spring away.The original factory rubber seal was strong enough so it was not a problem but that's not all. While working on installing the drivers side trim i looked over at my 56 factory installed windshield rubber seal and saw a major difference. The factory seal measures nearly one half inch, while the Steele is about one quarter of in inch, providing a tighter radius for the curved portion.

I seem to recall a previous post where a similar problem where gasket sealer was used to hold the trim in place That's what I did. If I am able to load the as a reply there should be three attachment.
