Chart A3 Windshield Side Reveal Molding Gaping to Windshield

Moderate levels of windshield rush can be pinpointed to the side reveal molding through a simple inspection. If any level of gapping between the soft glass side lip and the glass is evident, a wind rush condition will exist. (See figure)

Repair Method:

The production part should be removed and carefully hand formed to close the gap between the molding and the windshield. Reinstall the part and inspect for a gapping condition. Repeat process until all gapping is removed. Use care not to over bend the part in any one location and cause an appearance problem. Road test to assure the condition is repaired.
