I have a '95 and a '97 850. Both hit by hail in the big storm across the south US last week. On both cars the rubber strip at the top of the windshield came off in the middle. It appears the strip snaps into a plastic groove above the windshield and the hail broke the groove.

I figure I can glue it down using anything thick and waterproof. The strip does not appear to serve a purpose other than cosmetic or perhaps cut down wind noise. I have a tube of GOOP Marine contact adhesive sitting around that seems like it'll do the trick.

Ok to just glue them down? This is not sealing anything is it?

Thanks,

Just cosmetic. Lay a thin bead of clear rtv in the groove and insert the trim

I've had my 855T for 10 years and it's never had the strip. At one point I bought one, clipped it in and it blew off before I got to work. Should have RTV'd it into place.

Maybe just a thin bead of clear or black RTV and call it a day. My old 745T wore a narrow strip of duct tape across the top of the glass for years.
