The Precision Windshield Molding WFS D1176-98 A is a direct-replacement windshield trim piece designed to restore the factory appearance, seal the windshield edge, and reduce wind noise and vibration. Engineered for a precise profile match, this molding secures and protects the glass-to-body joint, helping prevent water intrusion and trim damage. Built from corrosion-resistant metal with a resilient sealing lip and UV-stable finish, it offers long-lasting durability, reliable fit, and straightforward installation for restoration or maintenance projects.
Features:
- Corrosion-resistant metal construction with a resilient sealing lip for long service life.
- Secures windshield edge to reduce vibration, wind noise, and potential leaks.
- Profiles to OEM dimensions for an authentic restored appearance.
- Easy to install with basic trim tools; designed for replacement and restoration work.
- UV-stable finish resists fading and maintains trim appearance over time.
Installation / Application:
- Difficulty: 3/5
- Estimated time: 1-2 hours
Instructions:
- Park the vehicle on a level surface and protect painted areas with masking tape and cloths.
- If the windshield or surrounding trim is unstable, support the glass with suction cups or have an assistant hold it. If windshield removal is required, consult a professional.
- Carefully remove the old molding by prying up an accessible edge with a plastic trim tool. Work slowly to avoid bending the channel or chipping the paint.
- Cut away any old adhesive or degraded rubber with a utility knife, then clean the windshield channel and surrounding flange thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol and a clean rag.
- Test-fit the new molding along the windshield edge to confirm orientation and fit. Trim any excess using a utility knife if necessary.
- Apply a light coat of soapy water or silicone lubricant to the sealing lip to ease installation. If the application requires, apply a bead of urethane adhesive or trim sealant to the channel per product instructions.
- Starting at one corner, align the molding and press it into the channel. Work in short sections, pressing and seating the molding fully with your hands and a rubber mallet or block of wood to avoid denting.
- Ensure ends and corners are fully seated and any joins are tight. Wipe away excess lubricant and clean the area.
- Allow any adhesive or sealant to cure as directed by the product manufacturer before driving or exposing the joint to water.
- Perform a water test and inspect for leaks. If you detect leaks or improper fit, remove and re-seat the molding or consult a professional installer.
