So....I'd a windshield removed and replaced in order to repair some very modest rust on the roof and in the upper channel of the windshield.
Local shop did it, nice looking job. The glass was not OEM when I got the truck so its been out before. The shop was able to do it without breaking the glass.
However, some weeks after the repair I had a single trickle of water on the inside of the windshield. The shop apologized, redid the work. No leak.
However, while driving on the interstate the other day, the molding which runs horizontally above the windshield came loose and was flapping in the breeze.
It looks like its just press fit into the groove above the windshield, not glued in or taped in like the vertical moldings beside the windshield, but I can't find a video or description of how it goes in on this site or any other and damned if I can find a description in the factory repair manual.
First question, is it just a press fit? Its been in and out at least 5 times and I suspect its the OEM molding and, like me, is mature.
Second question Should I buy a new rubber part? Should I press the old one back in and hope it holds, Adhesive? Voodoo??
I did press it into the groove, but it isn't going to hold....way too easy to install it....it is going to fly out again.
