Good morning,
I've purchased a replacement interior cosmetic rubber seal that goes along the bottom of the windshield. I'm told that it's a simple installation, not requiring the removal of the windshield or dash, and perhaps a thirty-minute project. THAT SAID...I'd love to get a step by step account of how to do it, rather than figure it out by trial and error. Tips on getting the old, cracked seal out? Tips on getting the new seal seated and centered? SMC's site says "It is installed by cutting the ends so the seal is slightly longer and over-centering it." I have no idea what that means. Any shared experience would be appreciated. Thanks. Mitch |
