Weather Stripping

THE JEDI · 07-29-2010, 07:26 AM

Man I need some help..my weather stripping has begun to just crumble around my windshield and it looks horrible..what can I do to replace it.....

I have the same problem. I don't know if the windshield moulding can be replaced without removing the windshield. Hopefully someone who has done this before can help.

It can. The top and sides are a $3x part, if the bottom cowl needs replacing it is about $100. A shop will charge 1 -2 hours worth of labor to do it. A company like safelight should be able to do it if you dont want to try it yourself.

I didnt do it myself for fear of cracking the windshield or not getting it sealed correctly, but I believe another member on here has.

I doubt a 2005 would still be covered unless it is has an extended
