Does anyone know how to remove the windshield trim without destroying it!!
my windshield is leaking like crazy when it rains (right in he middle on the console)
Thanks for any help!

well that depends, do you have the metal trim or that plastic trim?

either way its really the same. here is the best advice i can give you. i took it off another site

"It is held on by plastic clips under the mouldings. You can buy a special tool for this at most parts stores. It has a flat metal end with a hook. You slip it under the moulding and with slight pressure pull the clip towards the windshield. Then you can pull the moulding off. There are several clips and they can break when they are old."

sorry to ressurect an old post but this might help others:

do you think that just resealing it with rtv or silicone by just pulling back on the trim and trying to get the sealant in there would "do" it? as opposed to removing the trim and possibly breaking it that is

I would suggest doing it the right way rather than the cheap easy way, it'll last you much longer.

I have the same problem. Its annoying after big storms or carwashes. Why does it leak in the first place? Is it an old seal?

Hey man I'm having the same problem BC of the po. Didn't know about the leaks and it wrecked my floor pan pan. So check that to....buy I fixed mine with silicone

For now what I did was ran 2 layers of black electrical tape layered in a staggered pattern. You can't tell unless you come up real close to it. I trimmed it with a sharp blade to make it look decent. Worked like a charm. I had water dripping onto the center console while driving in a storm. So annoying. So this fixed it but get this, the next rain (which wasn't as bad as the last) came and now my passenger front and rear can be known as the XJ Lagoon. REALLY REALLY tired of it being hotter and more humid IN my jeep than outside of it.

Im guessing maybe the antenna is what I should look at next? Have heard/read that mentioned on here. The weather stripping -looks- ok (?)

i plan on replacing the windshield in my XJ myself...I will take pics so everybody can see how to get those clips off

Don't use silicone it's not compatible, get some butyl rubber caulk.

This.
