I am finally going to replace the windshield.
I am assuming that if I use the Rubber Replacement for Windshield Molding from 914 Rubber I only need the new windshield, the rubber replacement and butyl tape to complete the windshield installation, no need for clips or spacers, is this correct? Thanks in advance |

I just did one (windshield install) just before this WE.
I also used the Rubber ""clips" despite reading reports from other members that they had difficulty in they seemed prone to breaking. I also found this to be the case. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Customer service was great in that they provided replacements but Id like to find a better (more plyable/flexable) alternative. I went that way because these things are pricy! It looks like you can still get the OE ones at about x2 the price, but does anyone have any experience with these since a lot of the OE Porsche parts aren't the same quality as the OG. |

I have a bag of OE clips ready to go in IF I ever get the windshield I've had on order almost a year now (long story). I bought them after reading another thread about the repro clips prone to breaking and someone (can't remember who) said they had good luck with the OE clips. |
