David A. Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Has anyone replaced the bead material around the windshield garnish molding? If so, how did you hold it in place while you tightened everything down, particularly around the defroster vent area? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Brent B3B Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Hi David, do you have a photo? I can't say I have see that bead material before. I thought the garnish pushed up against the windshield rubber..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David A. Posted December 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 I don't have a photo of it, but when I get home this evening I will look in some of my literature. I know I have seen it listed somewhere. It looks like the same material older cars used between the fenders and body. The bead goes between the windshield molding and the dash and other metal surfaces. I'm not sure how many years they did this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanksB3B Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Roberts Motor parts sells this item. Jeff It's just cut down fender welt. When cut/trimmed I believe the web is about 1/2" wide. It's tough stuff so marking with an ice pick and then using a Harbor Freight Hole Punch Kit will work like a charm an old single hole paper punch would probably do the trick. Good Luck, Hank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBF Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 I'll go along with what Hank said as a solution. I vaguely recall the material somehow being stapled or pinned to the trim pieces, but I'm not sure. I didn't use anything when I put mine together years ago.
