Horizontal Windshield WeatherStripping Source?

[Gadsden]

The weather stripping across the top of my windshield is severely warped. I also have about 8 cracks in my windshield. LOL....So, next week I'm going to get a new one installed...I'd like to have a brand new strip for the top of the windshield when he shows up. I literally have duct tape on it right now. (Works surprising well).

Anybody know the part and/or a good source to buy from?

If you look closely you can see the duct tape at the top of the windshield.

Don't think you can get that. Every windshield I had replaced (and I went through quite a few). Came with that rubber piece already attached.

New w/s comes with the molding already attached.

Speedy is correct- I verified that as well with the dealer

Just go drive behind a dump truck for a bit, then get your insurance to cover the replacement (at least that's what everyone tells me, I have never had an insurance company that covers glass replacement like that...)

Is this what you need?

Recently had a broken windshield and insurance replaced it with a used unit (being my fault). The rubber piece was too dried up and got this.
Just make sure its installed properly, the body shop that installed it did a piss poor job at it and if flew last week on the highway (was installed 4 months back)

Not trying to be dense...I typically use Safelite for my windshields..They just come out to my house and swap it out. Are you guys saying that they'll bring that piece WITH the windshield and I shouldn't worry about it?

Looks like it, I went ahead and ordered it to be on the safe side. $17 for part.. $9 shipping. LOL

Technically that piece is considered part of the w/s

Maybe you can settle this. Is the glass half full or half empty?

Awesome! Thanks Speedy. Looks like I'll have a spare then.
