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?

Me: YES and NO ( it does not work like that ) least for me. i had the same issues as you. i used the refered to body 3M contact cement meant for stainless/rubber/steel

Same here. On the 56 some pieces stayed and others popped right back out. I really wonder if todays issues are because the rubber replacement strip is just too soft for a good hold.

for the price of those Rubber windshield gaskets they should install themselves! i got mine on sale for over a hundred but those Steele ones and the ones from Kanters are over Two Hundred!

Thank you for contacting 3M, the Innovation Company.


Typically our 08609 Super Fast Urethane works well for that application. The product is an adhesive sealant so it will cure up and bond very well. If you need to remove it in the future it will need to be cut out.
