I recently became the proud owner of a 91 std hatchback, and am starting the process of going over it and replacing/fixing things as needed. The windshield molding appears to be shrunk and dry-rotted. If it's not leaking already (I've not driven in the rain yet) it will be soon. I'm trying to find the replacement that can be installed without removing the windshield. Is there a difference between parts 10 and 11 in this diagram? Honda Automotive Parts

I found what appears to be the correct part on this site for significantly less than from Honda Automotive: http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/sk...PRPWFS591.html Is it the right part?

 

Yes, #10 is for replacement when the windshield has been removed, #11 is for replacement without removing the windshield.

The molding does not prevent windshield leakage, it just covers the edges and prevents crap from accumulating. The windshield is glued down, it is the urethane glue that seals against leakage. Auto glass shops use a generic molding which will work if you can't get OEM.

 

My local glass shop can't even get a molding that fits.
