89 model MJ

I will be having the windshield replaced next week after a tree fell on it. It also bent the chrome trim. Can I take the trim and retainers off and just use the rubber trim like my 95 Cherokee has? If so do I get one for up a 94 or 95 model? Thanks. new to this site and looking forward to browsing thru some tips and tricks.

yes. the windshield installer should be able to to that. might have to mention too them what your plan is so they have the correct parts with them.

The gasket is only trim. Either way, the glass is sealed to the windshield frame with a heavy bead of sealant. It used to be a Butyl based sealant, but I believe now they use a type of polyurethane.

I popped the glass out myself so I could cut off the trim studs & prep/treat any rust.

 

Getting the glass out was a pain,

and there wasn't any real rust to worry about.

thats cool but the trim studs don't interfere with the rubber at all, i thought the same thing and my glass man said to leave them alone... no rust, no trim, no leakies...... :thumbsup:
