I'm needing to replace my windshield and want to use OEM weather stripping, which Safelite is unable to locate. Any suggestions? I'm also looking to replace the exterior trim pieces (or refinish them) at the base of the windows. The rubber skin is deteriorating. Suggestions?

Not sure about window sill and edge mouldings but as for the windshield you can eliminate the plastic upper corners and use one piece inverted 301 universal moulding. Ask you local windshield installer and they can make that work and it looks great. I'll try to get a picture of mine uploaded tomorrow.

I've done that on all windshield replacements. Looks fine and seals better than old worn OEM rubber.

Good luck - Eric

I've had good luck with megazip. I even found the holy grail OEM j18 exhaust manifold there!!

Be aware they mix SE416 & SV418 parts on these lists, so be sure you are ordering SV418. :)
