Windscreen Seal

Deliverance XXV

Hi all,

Probably a quick fix but never done it before so I would like to be sure. The seal rubber has started to come out of the top of my windscreen - I rang Autoglass but they only touch reseals when they put the glass in.

Would something like this be sufficient enough to reseal, and is there any particular application process other than apply and hold the rubber in for a little while? http://www.halfords.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_11101_catalogId_15551_productId_749361_langId_-1_categoryId_212519

The rubber seal won't actually seal the glass in place, its bonded in with a special type of sealant.
Don't use the silicone, it will look crap and not serve any purpose.
I would contact an independent windcreen outfit and see if they will cut a new length of rubber for you, chances are that the old stuff is just hardened.

What car? All modern cars have bonded windscreens, the rubber seal keeps the dirt out
