Default Help Requested - Rubber Gasket coming off windshield

Hey guys,

Half of the gasket that normally sits in the crack between the top of the windshield and the roof just started to break itself loose.

Has this happened to you in the past, and if so, how did you fix it?

I'd appreciate any advice you can provide.

This happened a few days after I got mine. I took it to a local auto window spot and charged $25. They took it all off cleaned it and re glued it

Mine came up a couple months ago. Began to bow up in the middle (!?), and only got worse from there. Took it to the dealer for a warranty replacement. At least now I know it's just adhesive holding it on there.

I went to my local auto shop and got window adhesive, I forgot exactly what its called. Just ask the person at the register and they will let you know what you need. Since I put it on mine, I have had no problems out of it.

I bought a new replacement and installed it (with some adhesive, as others have said). Part number is 25680777, and list price is only $20 or so.

I know there are people who have just pulled the thing off and run without it, but to me it looks like *** to have a 1/2" gap at the top of the windshield, and it definitely adds to the wind noise at speed.

Mine has cracked in a couple places & is starting to peel up, which is weird cause all my other rubber is perfect. Think I will replace it with new. Thanks for the part #!
