Where to buy new trim that goes around windsheild...

Hey everyone,
I need to get new windsheild trim. Its that hard plastic that fill the gap between the edge of the windshield & the A pillar/windsheild header. Does GM still carry it?

Thanks in Advance,
Mark B

GM has it.

Also any glass place should be able to get an exact duplicate as well.

Ditto, when my front glass was replaced and car painted, they put a new black molding, just like factory, been 3 years now and perfect! Andy

My advice would be go to a glass shop and get "wrap around" molding in the same width. The OEM style is "push-in", the wrap around will give better results..it will take care of the wavy effect and it keeps the glass at the right height while curing.

Just ordered one through the dealership.

I never removed the windshield. I destroyed the old one while taking it off to get the car painted.
