Rubber windscreen seal

Recommended Posts

Has anyone had problems with their uppper windscreen seal? I had a new windscreen put on my R53 when I purchased it Jan 2010.

 

The upper rubber seal comes loose in the middle when I am on the highway :motor:everyonce in a while.

 

Any suggestions as to what I could do to fix it instead of going to an auto glass shop?

 

Thanks!!!

Duct tape? Staple Gun, Silicone? Plasti Dip? Electrical tape?

 

Okay, that was mean but it made me laugh for a minute. Is it coming out on the inside or outside Greg? Does it come out enough to allow water or wind through? What kind of warranty was there on the work at the shop, I think I'd be heading over there to have them check their work.

I second this, if you just recently had that work done, you should have some warranty on the work, because it doesn't seem to have been done right. You shouldn't have to worry yourself to fix something a shop didn't get right.

 

Good luck!

 

That used to happen to the MINIs at Zipcar. It needed to be fixed by the shop who did the windshield install.

That was good!:wink::rofl::wink::rofl:

 

It was installed over a year ago. Fairfax Honda had someone come in to install it. Sometimes when I drive I hear a flapping sound...I generally just slow down till I get somewhere I can stop and press the seal back in. There is a channel in the rubber that needs to slip over the top of the windscreen in order for it to stay put. I may just stop by an AutoGlass shop and have them look at it.:banghead:

 

Thanks for the advice and humor....
