Windshield / Reveal Molding
I have a 2004 Z06 and I am having issues with the reveal molding at the top of the windshield. The molding started coming out at highway speeds, so I decided to replace it. I purchased a new piece of molding and tried to replace the old molding. I discovered that the new molding strip would not clip over the top of the windshield as it should. It appears that the windshield was replaced at some point by previous owner. I checked and it does have the correct windshield for the Z06 model. I discovered that the adhesive was not appplied evenly. The adhesive comes up too close to the top edge and prevents the molding from clipping over the top of the windshield.
Has anyone else had this issue? The only solution I see is removing the windshield and re-installing correctly. Is it possible to remove the windshield without damaging it? I plan to contact a few local auto glass companies to see if they can assist.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Can you tell me where you purchased the molding? I have been searching for the upper windshield seal with no luck.
Thanks!
