how important are these things? My passenger-side windshield weather strip has been on loose for months (and when I get faster than 60mph, it flopped around) and then today it finally flew off in rush hour traffic on the thruway.
Basically: do I NEED to replace it right away (because it actually keeps weather out? :rolleyes: ) or do I not need to worry about it (except that it looks nasty)?

it helps protect the weather sealant that holds the windshield in, i would replace it as soon as you can.
mine was doing the same on the drivers side, till i siliconed it in.

is it the side molding on the windshield. If you pull out the weatherstip that attaches to it, you'll see it is held in by 3 screws. Only way of it flying off is all the screws fell out.

maybe I'll know what you're talking about a little better when I get the new one in the mail. I don't see anything to pull out.

heh...that bottom screw is a bitch. I made the "I'll know what you're talking about..." post minutes after I bought the new one online. And I have it installed already. buy-oem-parts.com rules.
Thanks again for the help Richie. I didn't know what you were talking about when you said it, but it did help me in figuring out what to do once I got the part.
