Happy 4th of July Everyone!

I'm starting this thread not so much for discussion, but so that folks might find this information easier than if it was buried in my build thread.

The right and left windshield moulding of my 03' was cracking and the driverside section between the top of the windshield and the roof rack mount, had started to flop around at hwy speed. I also noticed the floor board getting a little wet in heavy rain, so maybe the seal had been breached.

The windshield had a small chip and subsequent star shaped cracks from a debris hit for a few months. So I did some research and found the right moulding and filed an insurance claim to have it replaced. Then I could have the techs replace the moulding at the same time.

It's one piece from the bottom of the windshield to the roof rack mount? i always thought it was two pieces. The top part of mine is coming out too. Do you know if this piece is glued in or pressed in?

Yes, it is one piece on my 03'.
I don't think they changed it in later years, but you never know.

I don't know if it's glued or pressed in. It seems to me the windshield section should be glued and fit in a groove. But, when my oem moulding came apart between the windshield and rack mount, I don't remember any evidence of glue from the factory. So it might be a press in fit between the corner of the windshield and the rack mount.

Actually, I should have thought about asking the techs if they glued it.

I was scared to pull mine off to check. I'll wait until I have the replacements on hand. $75 each! Is that around what you paid? Crazy prices for some rubber.

Sounds about right. I can't find the confirmation email to know what I paid.

I have this same issue now and just ordered the two parts (left and right side.) (03 SR5 V8 2WD) I am curious how you reinstalled. Do we need a tape or an adhesive spray? Or did they just "press in" tight with a good hold? Thanks!
