Daryl Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Came out to my car last week, and noticed the plastic strip that runs across the top of the windscreen had popped up on the drivers side. Closer investigation of the area noticed what i think is not quite right. Can people please let me know if there is anything wrong with these pictures please. Drivers side Passenger side Quote
cs2000 Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Mine has exactly the same 'problem' Its more of an annoyance than an actual problem however, never caused any issues. Quote
firemansim Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Mine was completly missing, didn't notice till I had a new windscreen fitted! Quote
Daryl Posted May 12, 2014 Author Posted May 12, 2014 So is it worth getting a new one, or shall i just silicone it down? Im aware the trim on the A pillar covers needs attention also. Quote
Keyser Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Mine came up on one side - I glued it back down - never leaked and never had a problem with it if that helps Quote
Daryl Posted May 13, 2014 Author Posted May 13, 2014 Cheers Keyser, just want to makesure that there are no leaks, and no pooling of water that can cause rust etc. Quote
Grundy Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Just commenting so I can find this easier on TapTalk Quote

Daryl Posted May 13, 2014 Author Posted May 13, 2014 Cheers for that Grundy, not sure why mine does not go all the way to the end of the windscreen, seems abit odd to me, and iv never noticed it before Quote

Daryl Posted May 13, 2014 Author Posted May 13, 2014 I just noticed one day that the strip was in the air on the drivers side, so I pushed it back down, but could still see the corner of the windscreen. Maybe someone swapped it with theirs when I was parked up or something. Quote
cs2000 Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Small thread revival on this, but I had a windscreen chip fixed at the weekend, I asked the guy about it. He said he has done windscreen replacements on Zeds before and the trim is purely cosmetic, it isn't a weather seal. He said that mostly, the window replacement guys pull them out, which stretches them, and then they just cut them "back to size" when they refit. Of course, over time this then re-shrinks to its standard size and you're left with a non fitting strip, like mine. Need to find a replacement really. Its easy to remove, just give it a pull, its a tongue and groove fitment. Quote
Daryl Posted June 11, 2014 Author Posted June 11, 2014 Cheers CS, i may see if i can get one that fits properly at some point, when the bank account recovers from this weekend Quote
