A direct-fit windshield weatherstrip designed for precision sedan models that use steel windshield trim and the WCR D618 profile. This seal features an integrated trim groove to accept steel molding, providing a secure seat that prevents water intrusion, wind noise, and dust while restoring an OEM appearance. Made from resilient, weather-resistant rubber compound, it offers long-term durability, flexibility in cold conditions, and easy installation to simplify restoration and maintenance projects.
Features:
- Fits select sedan models that use steel windshield trim with WCR D618 profile; verify exact year/make/model fitment before ordering.
- Integrated trim groove accepts steel molding for a factory-correct appearance and secure attachment.
- Durable, weather-resistant rubber compound resists cracking, UV, and temperature-related shrinkage.
- Seals windshield to prevent leaks, reduce wind noise, and keep out dust and road contaminants.
- Designed for restoration and replacement applications to restore original fit and finish.
- Straightforward installation with common hand tools and no special adhesives required in most applications.
Installation / Application:
- Difficulty: 2/5
- Estimated time: 30-60 minutes
Instructions:
- Park vehicle on a level surface and protect painted surfaces with masking tape or drop cloths.
- Carefully remove the old windshield weatherstrip and any attached steel trim. Use plastic trim tools and a taped screwdriver to avoid scratching the glass or paint.
- Inspect and clean the windshield flange/channel and trim mounting areas. Remove old adhesive, dirt, and corrosion. Dry the area thoroughly.
- Test-fit the new weatherstrip in place without lubricant to confirm orientation and fit. Identify the top, bottom, and trim groove alignment.
- Apply a light mist of soapy water or a recommended rubber lubricant to the channel and the inside of the seal to ease installation.
- Start at the top center of the windshield and press the seal lip into the channel, working outward toward each corner. Use a rubber mallet or gloved hand to seat the seal fully.
- If applicable, insert the steel molding into the trim groove and secure it along the perimeter. Ensure clips or fasteners engage correctly.
- Trim any excess material with a utility knife and smooth edges as needed. Re-check that the seal is uniformly seated with no pinched or twisted sections.
- Allow the lubricant to dissipate and inspect the seal. Test for leaks by gently spraying water around the windshield and checking for infiltration.
- Reinstall any removed trim or components and perform a final visual and leak inspection.
