Default Windshield upper molding

Can anyone please take a pic of the upper windshield molding. I'm trying to see how that gets fitted before i replace my glass. I need a close up view. I want to see where the top of the windshield meets the roof.

Thanks!

I don't have a picture (thought I did), but basically it gets stuck to the back/bottom of the glass before the glass gets installed into the car, and then it just sits/folds up from there against the body.

I'm sure someone can take a picture of it on their car. I'll do it if I remember.

Thanks jeff. I found your write up on windshield replacement on another forum but the pics where too far away.

Great job btw!

There is no upper molding on my '06 model with original glass. Nothing even visible in-between the glass and the roof in fact.

It's there, it's that black rubber piece that you can see if you look in the gap between the glass and roof.

Ok, so there's a rubber piece that sits flush against the roof. Just had to take a closer look.

Before I replaced them, they were in pieces. Get 10 clips. The clips are not usable after you remove the molding, they snap the tabs. Ask me why I know...

No, those are the side mouldings, I believe he is looking for a picture of the upper.

I'll see if I can snap one after work.
