Replacing Windshield Reveal Moldings | 03 xtype

![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
So the 2 vertical weatherstripping pieces on my jaguar xtype are pretty well rotted at this point.
Invested in a set of the reveal moldings, and they seem to be part of the plastic trim on ether end of the windshield too. So inspecting the back of the new pieces it kinda seems like it slides in and clips into somewhere.
Sadly I haven't found any videos on tutorials online to assist me here. Even though I could probably go out and figure it out a long the way, the location of these pieces is what I would call sensitive.
With that in mind hopefully you guys can give me some advice on how to tackle this job properly.
Thanks in advance!

I replaced the vertical windshield trim yesterday.
I did not have to use any tools.
Standing at the side of the car, pull directly towards yourself - working your way down the length of it to remove the strip.
The back of the new trim pieces has a tongue running the length of the strip. The tongue slips into the metal channel.
once positioned properly, I pounded it home using open palms and a fist.

there are two different part numbers one for left, one for right. At SNG Barratt they call it a "Finisher-win" and the passenger side part is C2S36549 and drivers side is C2S36550.
A bit pricey at $58 each for a 30" strip of rubber and plastic, but you bought the Jaguar instead of the Toyota, so no crying allowed.
