Hi All,
Looking at this 914 - is the goop between the dash top and the windshield the result of a sloppy windshield installation and if so, could that be trimmed/pushed around to clean it up a little bit? Also - does that look like a plastic dash cover? Thanks! Brian  |

I'm familiar with the plastic nature of a dash topper I'm just not physically with the car - and I think it does look like this is one. usually around the ashtray is the dead giveaway.
jdamiano - thanks for the tip on pulling the seal. I'd be down for that - but not for pulling the windshield just for this if it's in good shape.... |

If you decide to pull the seal and it’s the original style make sure you have some picks and a shop vac. Harbor Freight sells some picks that work well. It comes out in a zillion pieces and the metal is a pain to remove. Once it is out and everything is cleaned up the 914rubber one goes in easy. Has to be the 914rubber one. They designed it to be installed with the windshield in. |

They designed it to be installed with the windshield in. The rubber seal at the bottom of the windshield on the inside looks to be in great shape. That is the one that comes out in a bunch of little pieces if original and you need a pick and vacuum for cleanup. It is easily replaced and I did mine last year. That goop looks like butyl that can be trimmed but will be a pain to get a knife down there to trim up. |
