Windshield Weatherstripping

[m85476585]

Could anyone do me a favor and post some detailed pictures of the weatherstripping at the top corners of your front windshield? I'm getting some wind noise up there (specifically top passenger side corner), and it looks like the installer that replaced the windshield for the previous owner did a poor job. But I'm not sure what it's supposed to look like. There is one section that's a bit loose that I'll try to glue/tape down, but the overall fit doesn't look that great, and there are gaps that I don't think are supposed to be there. Any suggestions for adhesive to hold down some weatherstripping? It should be flexible so it can adhere to the weatherstripping, and it should be removable for next time the windshield needs to be replaced. I'm thinking something like RTV Silicone, but I don't know if it has enough adhesion to last.

Thanks!

I had what I believe was the same problem you might be having. top corners of mine were "bowed" up. RTV probably wont hold it down unless you really goop it in there. What I had to do was actually pull that weather stripping up from the bottom of the windshield all the way to the start of the luggage rack. I used a little industrial strength epoxy up by the luggage rack but if you look at the stripping it has a channel. This channel has to be started at the top of the windshield and run all the way down to the bottom then under a plastic piece. Once I ran it down I put just a dab of epoxy at the bottom where you can hardly see. I haven't had any more problems and it is all staying down even when doing 80+ mph.

Mine had the same problem and applied pretty much the same fix except I used weather strip adhesive.

I would use weatherstrip adhesive as well. I had an issue with the top passenger side always popping off, the company we contract with for the windshields was nice enough to take a look and replace and reglue it for me.
