Hi Friends! The weather strip along the top of my windshield was coming off, so instead of just sticking it back down I decided to remove it and do it properly. My windshield has been replaced by previous owner, and the top weatherstrip was not OEM - and me removing it was not a smart move!

I cannot find a way of ordering the top weather strip. I asked my local shop and they told me to call a windshield company. I called a local company, met the guy and he asked his supplier and there appears to be no OEM windshield weather strip available.

So, given that I took off the old one and it would be very hard if not possible to put the old one back on (due to black goo deposits that I have already tried to get off), what can I do? Hopefully I am just being dumb and not searching for the correct thing. Or maybe there is an after market version that I have also failed to find.

Anyone got any ideas?
Cheers,
