Application
Universal fit — conventional molding width should match the gap dimension at the glass perimeter. Verify the gap width on the vehicle before ordering. Available in 21mm (PRP2175TL) for wider openings.
What is conventional-style glass molding?
Conventional glass molding is an exterior trim strip that covers and bridges the gap between the glass edge and the vehicle body panel. Unlike cavity molding (which grips the glass edge) or underside molding (which goes under the glass), conventional molding sits on top of the installed glass, providing a weatherproof seal and a finished appearance around the glass perimeter. The trim line in this product adds a decorative element along the visible outer face.
What does the integrated trim line do?
The trim line is a decorative feature built into the outer face of the molding — typically a contrasting color or chrome-style accent stripe that runs along the length of the molding. It provides an OEM-type finished appearance, giving the glass installation a polished look that matches many factory windshield trim styles.
How do I select the right width for conventional molding?
Measure the gap between the glass edge and the adjacent body panel at the widest point. The molding should be wide enough to bridge and cover this gap while lying flat. The 17mm profile suits most standard windshield openings; for wider gaps, the 21mm version (PRP2175TL) is available.
How much molding do I need per installation?
Most passenger vehicle windshields require 12–16 feet of exterior molding depending on vehicle size. A 75-foot roll provides enough for 4–5 complete installations. Add 10–15% when cutting to account for corner fitting and waste.
Is this compatible with OEM and aftermarket glass?
Yes — this universal molding is cut to length on-site and fits both OEM and aftermarket replacement glass. Gap dimensions can vary slightly between OEM and aftermarket glass, so verify the perimeter gap on the specific glass being installed before cutting.
