Reply to "Trim gaps with glue-in windshield"

larrywMember

I installed one of Wilkinsons glue ins a few years ago.

Photo is of the drivers side A pillar

I used a length of small diameter black thin walled plastic tubing. It was actually a scrap from a garden drip irrigation system. I pinched it with my finger tips and pushed it into the gap. It tries to get round again and more or less stays put without putting excessive pressure on the windshield bond. Sometimes a poke with the end of a paint stirrer is needed to tuck it back in here and there after time in the hot sun.

It worked on the A pillars and along the bottom of the windshield. The top remains open, everything is black and I can't really see it without contorting myself anyway.

I do think you have a more elegant solution. Not as likely to be affected by heat. I'm interested to see where you wind up.
