Recently I had my windshield replaced by AtuoGlassNow of Tucker, GA. About two months later I noticed that the upper windshield trim had blown off. I've gone round and round with these people and gotten nowhere.

So, I have ordered and received the new parts from Mazdatrix, but I cannot figure out how the clips work. I bought the new clips and installed them on the little studs at the top of the windshield, but they seem too small. I would have thought things would just snap into place.

The new trim is very nice and it does come with neoprene mold on both edges and on the ends. Very Nice.

Can anyone advise me on how to use these clips?

 

the pictures in the shop manual are not great, but the trim sits a certain distance away from the body, and so the glass and sealant have end up the right size. if there is too much sealant, or the glass is too thick the moldings won't go on
the original window sat on these little spacers that put the thing in the right place.
