P700 Trying to stop leaking windshield

[Tflynn]

I had been having trouble with my windshield leaking water around the edges and squeeking something awful. Here's what I came up with-

As you can see, it likely has not solved the water getting in completely, haven't had the weather to test that. But it completely stopped the squeeking so that's a move in the right direction! I just used regular rubber foam weather stripping that you can get at any hardware store. Anyone have a better idea?

if your plexi isn't to thick you may be able to use automotive door weather strippping like honda does. Honda uses the exact same stuff that chevy used on its trucks doors from 73-87. I have it on the sides my two piece windshield and figured it would be removed by braches and what not by now, but it stay put real good. I don't have a pic for you @Tflynn but Ican get you one iffin you'd like.

This is the same thing I was going to suggest. I think you will be much happier with the overall appearance with the door weather strip fit and finish.

you can see it here at the bottom of the lower half of the windshield

That looks good! My windshield came with something similar but it was total garbage. Wouldn't stay put, didn't seal, just awful. I guess that's what happens when you buy the cheapest one you can find. Where can I buy that stuff you have?
