pedrosixfour Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Can I be really dense and ask if this part is a definite requirement if changing a windscreen? I know a 20 year old rubber seal could probably do with changing anyway but say, for example, you fitted a new windscreen & seal recently but for some reason it had to come out again, is the seal always sacrificed to remove the screen, regardless of its age or condition?

It's not a necessity no. As long as the seal remains intact if the screen is taken out, then it doesn't need to be replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Parm. I'll be a bit careful on the off chance the seal isn't perished so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi bud The seal dose no sealing at all it is just there to look pretty ie to mask the gap between the body and bare edge of the glass. If the trim is old and rock hard with age 99% chance it won't come out without keep braking or damaging screen trying to get trim out best way is to have to new blade in knife and carefully cut trim off so you can get the cutting wire into the bonding glue to save windscreen. If screen has been fitted in last couple years then 50/50 chance but they do have a good habit of stretching and curling up when taken out will look crap if re-fitted. I would always use oe on mine but there are others out the that look the same and softer so can be reused again ie Corolla and wv transporter are just two. I worked for auto glass for years if need any other help just give me a shout! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
