Need a favor (picture of your 370Z)...

flashburn · 02-14-2012, 02:08 PM

Can someone post a really close up shot of where their windshield meets their roofline? There should be a rubber lining around the windshield and I need to see what it looks like. Safelite just installed my windshield, but the lining doesn't look right (it's tucked in a bit). So I need to see if I'm right or not.

Thanks.

Is this what your after? It gave me an excuse to pull the car cover back

flashburn · 02-14-2012, 03:35 PM

Yeah, pretty much. I can't really tell though, is there another smaller rubber strip between the big rubber strip and the roofline, or is it just a gap?

Face · 02-14-2012, 03:37 PM

Dang, that's a really specific request and an even faster response with ultra high quality pics. WTF this forum is great.

Repped.

IMO, it looks like that's a shadow, not a smaller rubber strip or gap, between the rubber and the roof.

I learned long ago that this forum, and the people on it are pretty damn awesome.

I come to expect it that this point.

The non-oem windshield that was installed does have another smaller rubber strip, but it looks like it's supposed to be tucked down pretty deep, the gap is only maybe like 10mm at most.

Maybe you can post a pic of yours too so we can see what happened to yours, right??

Sure. The main reason I needed a pic was in order to show the shop what it's supposed to look like (if it isn't correct).

My windshield got replaced last summer (from the deathstar sized rock that hit it) and the rubber lining looked the same as OEM. Maybe posting more and better pics of your car would help.

Zeek · 02-15-2012, 09:22 PM

The gap between the windshield rubber and the roof is just the thickness of a matchbook cover.

alcheng · 02-14-2012, 04:53 PM

Looks like the lining is not as thick as the OEM, did you just have it installed?

Yeah.

Can someone go check their car and let me know if it just looks like my picture? I think it does, after seeing GaleForce's pics.

flashburn · 02-14-2012, 06:53 PM

Bump. Someone help me out?
