    Emergency Winshield Molding HELP!

    Well, actually, the windshield moldings on a vert are different. The left and right side molding wrap around the windshield post, clip in around the gasket, and have screws that hold them to the a-pillar, and the top molding also serves as a base for the vert top rubber seal to mate up to...
