The rubber between my windshield and dash is hard and cracked. Windshield and dashboard are fine. Is it possible to replace the rubber without removing the windshield or dash?

The answer to if the windshield needs to come out is , depends on who's it is.
The factory has a metal clip that i was never able to get fully engaged back on the seam it sits on. Even using a custom toll to install (paint mixing stick), I could not get it uniformly installed. So I made a version that has spring designed into the part. It's much easier to install. Note for install - I notch the shape of the pillar on the 1st side I install, then cut about 1/4 longer than I think it needs to be. Installation begins with both sides at the pillars and walk the seal to the center. If it's too long, keep trimming between fittings until it does fit, it will actually over center and pop into place, making a perfect seam at both pillars as they have some give. When installed they look uniform like they should. https://shop.914rubber.com/914-Windshield-t...m?categoryId=-1 And only $18.99. These were once as high as $42 elsewhere. Here's my original write up, it may be handy. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...p;hl=windshield Attached image(s)
