hello theron,
for volvo windshields, the new rubber trim is a separate item. in other words, the volvo windshield has 2 pieces: the windshield and rubber trim.

for aftermarket and oem (pilkington) windshields, the rubber trim is included and attached to the windshield. it fits in as one piece.

the installers should have the adhesive to apply. the adhesive goes on the car, not the windshield, if i recall correctly.

the metal trim and rubber trim from the old windshield are not needed from now on.

ask for pilkington windshields, oem. they are a more expensive, but avoid and ask not to have a chinese-made windshield. i've seen cheap chinese-made windshields crack easily, although they are suppose to meet minimum gov't requirements.

regards,
byron golden
