wtdash Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 (edited) We just got a '96 Legacy Brighton and it has a strange plastic trim around the outside of the windshield. It's about 4" wide on the bottom and top and 2" on the sides, thicker than any tint film I've seen, and is stuck under the windshield's original moulding. It's falling off now and I intend to remove the rest of it.....just curious as to its purpose??? The PO didn't know either. The original top-edge tint is visible in this pic, and it's barely any wider?? Edited March 15, 2009 by wtdash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobywagon Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I'm not sure, but it looks kinda like 24hr tape thats been left on ENTIRELY too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well is is much easier to apply window tint on the outside of the windshield (Trust me i know way too many computer geeks, that is thier logic). nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bheinen74 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 that could be the nascar windshield with "tear-off" cleaning strip option it could also be the Subaru option of bullet proof glass. To find out, go shoot the window and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone must have been picking at it..?? Learn something new every day. I replaced the wipers last nite and they were 2" shorter than OEM, which now makes sense as they were likely 'shortened' to not hit on the Edgeguard??? Althought they still hit/rest on the bottom Edgeguard when turned off. Thanks for what I believe to be the 'final answer'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bheinen74 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 if this edgeguard company still exists (doubtful) I would make them buy you a new windshield and shove their bull crap old windshield failure up their a hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
