Maybe the shorts were for those with bars on the roof ...

My LX has the OEM roof rack as well....

Disclaimer:Always try to check that any part numbers posted herein match as compatible with your VIN. I ordered side windshield mouldings (listed above in this thread as "Garnishes") based off of research from this thread and another here on this forum. After the part numbers listed earlier in this thread showed to be a match for my truck on an online website, I placed my order quickly without comparing against the VIN because I had an appointment to change my windshield approaching.

Upon receiving them it turned out that they were not as long as the trim being replaced and would have stopped about 4 or 5 inches short of the originals(attached with 2 sided tape) in the roof rain channel where they meet the trim coming from the roof rack. Although along the sides of the windshield(rivet holes area) was a perfect match on these shorter trim pieces, I chose not to install them at the time of glass installation and waited to get the correct mouldings in for my 2006 LX470 to have a stock appearance along channel in roof.

Listed below are the part numbers that I used to complete my Windshield(I bought an aftermarket supplied by my glass shop) installation:

75534-60021 Moulding, Windshield (LH)
75533-60031 Moulding, Windshield (RH)
75531-60030 Moulding, Windshield (Top)
75543-60020 Moulding, Windshield x2 (each side requires 1)
89944-50010 Tape, Rain Sensor
87825-60010 Spring, Inner Rear View Mirror (I "reshaped" my spring a few times to cure vibrations and decided to replace it at this time)
90269-04053 Rivet x8 (I ordered extra just in case a couple didn't come out tight enough for my liking and had to redo a few)

If anyone needs to replace their LC windshield I will put the Garnishes(75534-60050 / 75533-60060) in classifieds later along with some other parts necessary for glass installation. PM if interested.

Hope this helps someone else avoid the mistake that I made...

Just wanted to say a HUGE thanks for this! Going through the exact same deal now on my LX470 and I'm positive you've saved me hundreds $$ and untold frustration.

Have a small gap between molding and A-pillar. Seems like Safelite used rivets (good) but they’re kinda loose (bad). Is this solved by re-riveting or is there supposed to be some sort of sealant/adhesive in there?

Kicking up a n old thread to see if I can get some light shed on wind noise issues. I have been progressively addressing a half-done windshield install, in which the shop didn’t quite do it right but also didn’t do anything that couldn’t be undone. Last weekend I popped out some big gobs of urethane from the roof side trim channels I thought were causing wind noise, but that wasn’t it.

It looks like the top trim is basically just loose enough to catch air, and if I blow on it I can hear what I believe is the wind noise I’m trying to track down. In the attached photo, it looks bad in this one as well…

Question - what would you do? Simple solution is running a bead of silicone underneath. More complicated is pulling and replacing it. After trying to pull the side molding, I’m paranoid that the top is set into the windshield adhesive and is going to be a pain to remove. Will silicone trap water / cause rust?

Did you verify they attached each side trim with 4 rivets? Wind noise is most likely whistling through an improper install of the side trim either by loose rivets, no rivets, or screws.

If the installer slipped that windshield a little low, water can get in there and rust the windshield frame.

Yes, I pulled what they previously put in as rivets in 2/4 holes on either side. Replaced all of them with OEM rivets + garnish. When I tried to pull them off completely to address issues on the roof, they were in so tight there was no way to remove them without ruining the side trim, so I just finished what I could on the roof without fully pulling the rest.

Also - now that the sides look tight, it’s pretty clear that the top trim is the culprit. So - pull and replace with new, or silicone and hope for the best?
