Description
A direct-fit windshield weatherstrip seal engineered for hardtop and convertible applications. This seal accepts chrome trim that inserts into factory-style body clips to create a secure, continuous barrier at the windshield opening. It helps prevent water intrusion, wind noise, and vibration while restoring the correct appearance and function of the windshield perimeter. Made from a weather-resistant rubber compound, it delivers long-lasting durability, reliable sealing performance, and straightforward installation for restoration or replacement projects.Features:

Installation / Application:
- Difficulty: 2/5
- Estimated time: 30-60 minutes
Suggested Tools:
- Plastic trim removal tool
- Flat-head screwdriver (wrapped to protect finish)
- Isopropyl alcohol or adhesive cleaner
- Clean lint-free cloths
- Weatherstrip adhesive (optional, for corners/ends)
- Utility knife or scissors
Instructions:
- Carefully remove the chrome trim and old weatherstrip from the windshield opening, saving any reusable body clips if possible.
- Clean the mounting channel and surrounding metal with isopropyl alcohol to remove old adhesive, dirt, and grease; allow to dry.
- Dry-fit the new weatherstrip into the channel and slide the chrome trim into its pocket to verify fit and alignment before final installation.
- Starting at one corner, press the weatherstrip into the channel so the molded pockets seat over the body clip locations; work around the windshield keeping even tension.
- Insert the chrome trim into the weatherstrip pocket, ensuring the trim engages the clip slots and aligns evenly along the windshield perimeter.
- Apply small amounts of weatherstrip adhesive at corners or ends if additional hold is needed; trim any excess seal material with a utility knife for a clean finish.
- Reinstall any retained clips or fasteners, inspect the full perimeter for gaps, and perform a water or leak check after installation to confirm a watertight seal.
