edgemaster Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Guys, The other day I noticed that there is a soft rubber strip wiggling its way out of where the windshield and the dashboard meet. Can I rip it completely out or should I try to push it back in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOEHIO Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Is it on one side or both? If one side, try and check the other side to see if you an match it up. I would not pull it out, must be there for a reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgemaster Posted June 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 It goes all across the width of the windshield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincwitsync Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 That rubber thing is a mess. Mine had become an eye sore and I wanted to rip it out too. When I bought my MKX I gave it a serious detailing. While cleaning that windshield, I somehow caught the end of that rubber piece and somehow mangled it. I didn't realize what I had done until after I finished cleaning the windshield. Who thinks "hey look out for rubber gaskets on the bottom of the windshield"? First one I'd ever seen in a vehicle like that. Since it's been so hot lately, the rubber thing has changed back to its original shape and it looks better. I am glad and will leave it there for now. It is probably some noise barrier or acoustic noise reducer, so it's definately there for a reason. I think that is a stupid location for it to be honest.

Mine did the same, looked like a crooked snake across the dash...I just ripped out what I could; there is still a small piece on each side that I couldn't quite get to. The only purpose I se that it serves is to keep small stuff from falling under the dash at the base of the windshield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgemaster Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Can't it just be pushed down where it came from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincwitsync Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 The rubber strip has an adhesive backing. If it's sticky you may be able to stick it back on. Is any of the strip attached to the windshield or has it separated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
