Description
This windshield weatherstrip seal is engineered to restore a watertight, rattle-free fit around the windshield for all models except convertibles. Designed to work with chrome trim that inserts into body clips (WCR D609), the seal provides a secure interface between glass, trim, and body to prevent leaks, reduce wind noise, and protect the windshield edge from corrosion. Made from resilient, weather-resistant material, it offers long-lasting durability and a straightforward replacement path for restorations and maintenance.Features:
- Fits all models except convertibles; confirm fitment for your specific vehicle before ordering.
- Works with chrome trim that inserts into body clips (WCR D609) for a factory-style appearance.
- Made from durable, weather-resistant EPDM-style rubber to resist cracking and shrinkage.
- Prevents water intrusion and reduces wind noise and vibration for a quieter, drier cabin.
- Easy to install with basic hand tools — suitable for restoration and routine replacement.
Installation / Application:
- Difficulty: 2/5
- Estimated time: 30–90 minutes
Suggested Tools:
- Panel/trim removal tool
- Flathead and Phillips screwdrivers
- Needle-nose pliers
- Utility knife or shears
- Rubbing alcohol or solvent and clean cloths
- Masking tape
- Rubber mallet or block of wood
- Weatherstrip adhesive or seam sealer (optional)
Instructions:
- Park the vehicle on a level surface and protect painted surfaces with masking tape or drop cloths.
- Carefully remove any exterior chrome trim or molding that interfaces with the old weatherstrip (use trim tools to avoid damage).
- Pull out the old weatherstrip and remove any remaining clips, adhesive, and debris from the channel.
- Clean the windshield flange and body channel with rubbing alcohol or a suitable solvent; allow to dry completely.
- Test-fit the new weatherstrip and chrome trim (WCR D609) to confirm orientation and clip alignment.
- If clips are missing or damaged, replace them now. Apply a thin bead of weatherstrip adhesive in the channel only if required by fitment or to secure corners.
- Beginning at one side, press the new weatherstrip into the body channel, engaging body clips as you go. Use a rubber mallet or block of wood to seat the seal evenly without deforming it.
- Reinstall the chrome trim over the seal, ensuring the trim’s insertion lip engages the body clips and the seal is not pinched or twisted.
- Trim any excess weatherstrip material with a utility knife for a clean finish and inspect for gaps around corners and edges.
- Allow any adhesive to cure per instructions, then test for leaks by gently spraying water around the windshield and checking the interior for drips.
