The Precision Windshield Top Molding WFT D1168 is a direct-fit replacement molding designed to seal and finish the upper edge of the windshield. It secures the windshield trim, helps prevent water intrusion and wind noise, and restores the vehicle’s factory appearance. Made from a durable rubber compound with corrosion-resistant reinforcement, this molding provides reliable long-term sealing and resists UV and weathering. It’s an ideal part for restoration or maintenance projects where keeping a watertight, factory-looking seal is important.
Features:
- Direct-fit top windshield molding to seal and finish the upper windshield edge.
- Constructed from a durable rubber compound with corrosion-resistant reinforcement for long service life.
- Prevents water intrusion and reduces wind noise by creating a secure seal at the windshield top.
- Restores factory appearance and helps protect interior trim and headliner from moisture damage.
- Designed for straightforward replacement during windshield or trim restoration.
Installation / Application:
- Difficulty: 2/5
- Estimated time: 30–60 minutes
Instructions:
- Park on level ground and remove any exterior trim or weatherstrip pieces that obstruct access to the top windshield molding.
- Carefully pull out the old top molding starting at one end; use a plastic trim tool to release clips without damaging the paint.
- Inspect the channel for old adhesive, rust, or debris. Clean the area thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol and a rag; remove corrosion and loose material.
- Test-fit the new molding along the windshield top to confirm correct length and clip alignment; trim excess if necessary using a sharp blade.
- If the molding uses clips, align and press each clip into place; if adhesive is required, apply adhesive or promoter per product instructions to the channel and/or molding.
- Starting at one corner, firmly press the molding into the channel working toward the opposite side. Use even pressure and a soft mallet or wrap a cloth around a block to seat the molding without damaging it.
- Reinstall any removed trim pieces and inspect the seal for uniform contact. Allow any adhesive to cure per manufacturer instructions before driving.
- Check for leaks after installation by gently spraying water across the windshield top and inspecting interior for seepage.
