From memory when my genuine windscreen got replaced by the dealership they removed that and replaced it with a genuine wider rubber as well.

I know the best answer is to replace the piece, but I would have to replace the entire windscreen and it's not cracked.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I know the best answer is to replace the piece, but I would have to replace the entire windscreen and it's not cracked. Any suggestions on what to use to make this slightly less fugly? Plastidip? I would prefer something I can just brush on, but I guess gloss black something might work as a temp fix? It's cracking badly, I just want to prevent it getting worse until I can get it done right. Thanks!

POST 3Original post

I have two spots like that on my rear window . I plan to use high gloss black paint and touch it up with a small artist brush . Will build up 4-5 layers and call it done .

POST 5Original post

Per Dans earlier suggestion, I�d recommend going with a full new surround/windshield trim. What you�ve got there is never going to look good no matter what kind of touch up job you do. Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and do it right.
