Hi guys, I have a quick question with this DIY. Is the illustration for step 3 correct? Should there be nothing between the windshield glass and roof once the upper molding & fastener are removed? I ripped out the upper molding last week (and got hauled away in the trash by mistake), then removed the upper fastener yesterday. Now there's a rubber "lip" between the glass and roofline. I'm not sure if it's a part of the upper molding that didn't come off, or if it's part of the seal between the glass and the pillar, but it's awfully hard to remove (as if it's bonded onto the glass). I think I have to use a razor to cut it off, I tried pulling it off with a needle nose plier and it resulted in the torn mess shown in the pics below (it's the rubber piece just above the windshield). Before I spend any more time on it, I thought I'd check with your guys. Thanks!
