Is there a correct way of installing the reveal molding on the hardtop?

[—tsingson—]

Hey guys. I just purchased the reveal molding that goes on the back glass of the hardtop. One thing I noticed is that the molding will bunch up on the curve of the glass on the lower section. Is there a way to get rid of the wrinkles there?

Mine wrinkled there too. If it's really rubber, it may shrink a little if you heat it, or use an exacto to slice a pie cut? I just left it alone.

Is there any need to worry about water or is it just strictly aesthetics?

Just curious. As much as the temperature has been changing here lately did you give all the parts time to acclimate together before install?

Just ask because if the top and glass are colder, shrunken, and the weatherstrip warmer then there might be the reason to the wrinkling. HTH!

The hardtop and seal were both in the garage together overnight before I installed it.

The glass/backlight is glued, that molding is just for looks.

If, then, it is just aesthetics trim the underside to make it lay flat. Small pie cuts.

Are you going to the Demon Open House? What is the record for Miati in a newly purchased home. With one garage space open? LOL

Mine did the same thing, I was advised by a safelite tech to use clear adhesive silicone to hold the area down. Warm things up with a heat gun or hair dryer, apply a small amount of silicone, remove any excess, and then tape the area down with painters tape until the silicone under the mounding dries and holds the plastic in place. I have all the stuff to do it, but haven't bothered yet.
