Did a search and came up with these threads:

windshield molding
Windshield molding?

But, neither had a definitive answer & the Service Manual is a bit ambiguous too ... the question is, do you have to remove the windshield to replace the rubber trim (Ford P/N F4ZZ-6303144-BAM) that is around the windshield?

As seen in the pic below, mine has decided to split for some reason and is looking pretty tacky.

I think you have to remove the windshield to get that piece changed.

So I think I got the answer I needed ... This youtube vid helped:

Day 5 Mustang Cobra Project Ford SVT new windshield - YouTube

First hint, if you watch closely, is you'll see the new windshield with the rubber molding already attached. So I contacted Safelite and got this response:

the moldings would come attached to the new windshield

Click to expand...

So the answer is (for anyone else who searches for this) ... you can purchase & install replacement molding, but'll you'll have to remove the windshield to do so.

I would not go with a big company like that. They charge way too much.

There's a small company around me that will come to your house and install for $100. Looks great afterwards too.
