Ry-B Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Hi All, Excuse how filthy the car is as it needs a good wash. On the motorway the other day I noticed a lot of wind noise around the driver side, I checked the window which looks fine, however, looking at the windshield trim it doesn't go all the way to the edge which to me explains the wind noise at motorway speeds. I Assume the trim across the top of the windshield can be replaced on it own, but reading other threads it seems the whole A pillar needs to be replaced to replace the trim on them? which also look like they are starting the fail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 A slight, tidy application of black sealant will save you the expense and the ball ache of replacing these parts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry-B Posted May 11, 2021 Author Share Posted May 11, 2021 Thanks Alex, Will give that a go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry-B Posted July 7, 2021 Author Share Posted July 7, 2021 Finally got round to this, could do with a bit of tidy up but you can't tell unless you are looking for it and most importantly it has fixed the wind noise making the car a lot more pleasant to drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bytespc Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 looks fab, mine arrived yesterday, what did you use to smooth it in and what size nozzle did you use for the application ?, sorry for all the questions I've never attempted anything like this before.

No worries, I think I used the smallest or second from smallest nozzle I guess start with the smallest and see how you get on as you can also move to the next size if needed. For smoothing it out anything with a flat Sharp edge should do, I found smoothing from the windshield out to the A pillar gave a better finish then going down the length of the windshield if that makes sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
