Most likely, no need to remove the glass. On earlier models there are clips that are embedded in the urethane adhesive used to install the glass. IF clips are gone or broken same can be re-installed by using the proper adhesive without removing the glass.l... Im under impression the windshield needs to be out in order to replace all this properly.(its more than JUST that black piece on the outside)
..so BE Careful when you pull out of box.
Unfortunately, I'm waiting to hear if my truck is totaled. Guy ran a stop sign and turned left in front of me on Monday.
If the truck is totaled, I'll have some "extras' for sale including the unused new weatherstripping.
Bummer, eh?
Anyone know if you can get the "chunky" exterior windshield trim/molding for a 2018 SR5? I had a windshield replaced recently and they did not put any exterior molding back on so the windshield looks naked. I see on the Tacomas and some of the other 4runners, a chunkier exterior trim and wanted to get that. The parts department at my dealership has been less than helpful.
