How is the windscreen and it's metal trim supposed to be installed on a 604?

I'm uncovering some nasty previous work on mine and do not have another 604 or documentation to compare it to.

The metal trim was held in place by sticky goop, but underneath and around the glass there seems to be hard rubber!

Am I correct in thinking it should be held using a rubber seal and lockstrip system? and not glued in with urethane?

:thanks:

Yep. The edges of the trims are meant to engage with lips in the rubber, and finished off with clips on the upper corners and the middle of the bottom. They are a bit of a pain to install so it doesn't surprise me that some windscreen repairer or panel beater has opted for the bodgy goop.

Sorry to see the rust there. Not a joy to repair.

Have fun,

Rob.
