Re: windshield weather stripping

Moulding will cost you at least 20 bucks and 10 for the glue. I'd have a new glass installed also. I believe mine was around 150 or so, installed. Probably a little cheaper down here in the south.

Re: windshield weather stripping

Yes it does but sometimes the w/shield will break trying to remove all of the molding. It sits pretty deep in the channel and is glued with urethane. Depending on the age and amount of urethane, could be tough. I've seen the glass guru's trim the moulding so it doesn't sit as deep when all of the old one couldn't be removed.
