And I suppose that stock bright work seals the channel also ..... yaaassss ..... it certainly does Ollie.

The stock seals don't seal. They are decorative only. And a lot of windows frames rust out. My comment was on the use of silicone. Other sealers are better to use. I have read here several times and from people in the windshield business that silicone is bad to use.

Curious after 2 years how everything held up. I am about to disassemble and re-do the rear hatch on my 944 and will be using the paint for a cleaner look if it held up well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

I currently have stock trim w/ a cracked windshield. After the new windshield gets installed I want to but the stock trim back on. Can the original clips still be used or do they have to come out when the old windshield is removed? I suppose it's a good idea to have some spares on hand when the new windshield is going in?

Original clips can be reused if they aren't broken. Should have 19 clips---as I remember.

Once, I replaced the clips and found the new clips chipped the paint around the inner edge of the holes. As a result, serious rust got started. Just something to watch for...
