Windshield Replacement Woes

[LovesDunes]

Hi. Maybe I'm being too picky, but I recently had my windshield replaced and it doesn't seam to fit very well.

The gap at the top is way too big. is it the rubber seal? Is there supposed to be a piece of trim that runs around the windshield. I had it replaced years ago and it sure looked a lot nicer. I feel pretty stupid not knowing what parts and pieces are supposed to be there. LOL

Can you guys post some pics of your windshield trim/rubber after a new install, or even your old glass? Thanks

There is no trim there. If you have a gap there, your windshield guy let the thing slip down before the urethane cured. Spray it with a hose and see if it leaks inside.

Yep, it slid down. Typical to get it to the top tight as possible and tape it there. Some urethanes set up fairly quick some not so much so things like not flexing the structure driving or closing a door with all the windows up and creating pressure inside can be important for a few hours after install.

It looks little messy if pro's did it.

I had it replaced by people that should know better.
