Step 3: clean the glass, especially the edge that will contact the butyl.

You have started it, correct? Does the dynamat work or does everyone do it because, everyone does it?

@nivekdodge yes it works great, adds a little weight but definitely improves road noise and for me the best improvement was the doors. They went from tin can to super solid, I have a two 6.5 speakers and a 8 inch subwoofer on top of msds headers and no weird vibrations or tons of noise or reverb

Do you mean starting the engine? So far only in the garage, so I can't swear that my firewall system works . On the inside, starting from the painted firewall I have Dynamat, Dynaliner, and perlon carpet. On the engine side I have a layer of foil backed with insulation. I do know that I can thump on the firewall and the sound does not resonate though.

Next, I fitted the lower (inside) windshield seal.

I notched the ends so they tuck under the bottoms of the A-pillar pads.

Like this. Note that I had to remove this strip during the installation of the windshield trim clips.

Next I got out the windshield trim kit. This contains the 3 sections of the trim plus all the small pieces.

The small pieces include another batch of (aftermarket) plastic retaining clips, rubber spacers, and 3 aluminum trim junctions. Note that I plan to use the factory clips since I have read they are more robust and reliable.

I also dry-fit the trim. As others have said, this stuff is VERY flexible. Thats good since I had to do some gentle bending on all 3 pieces.

Step 4: OK, time for the retaining clips. I had one spare of the factory clips.

My method: first dip the prongs into some soapy water.

Then use a 5mm 1/4" socket on an extension and soft mallet to tap the prongs into the hole.

And then seat the plastic stud with a pin punch. Easy, right?

But my first attempt failed. I hit the clip too hard (and probably unevenly) trying to seat the prongs, and the clip split. After that, I had no spares.
