I've probably done this 10 ten times in my life and never had any problem with it. But, I just got a new, OEM windshield rubber seal from Pelican and the metal "clips" are not compressed.
Normally when install these, I just lube up the sides and slide them on (done that and it was easy) and then push the horizontal piece onto the windshield and it's super easy. This new seal was not staying stuck at all, and when I peeled back the rubber (photo below) the metal "clip" is not compressed at all. I don't recall ever having to compresses this metal part before. But, no problem, I tried compressing about 6" or so to test but I can't get it right. Either it is too compressed to fit on at all, or is too wide and doesn't stick on. Any tips? What am I doing wrong here? I remember this piece being super easy to install... -Steve |
