Windscreen seal from Febi - anyone seen it before?

It can be done and is very effective when done. no chance of the trim coming out as it is located under the lip on the inside edge. The only problem really is that the trim must fit the seal perfectly or it will not seat and the lip will stand proud. Often the trim is pulled out of the seal before the screen is taken out and that slightly straightens it out. It is essential that it fits the curve around the corners or it will not stay in. As I said before it a pain mostly because I did not know how to fit it and couldn't find any instructions and had to guess how it was fitted. Not quite happy with the finished result as it could be tighter on the corners and I will at some point redo.

Thanks. I'll make sure to have my restorer take it nice and slow with the trim.
