Windshield rubber trim

Coming through Alabama last week about 5 feet of the black rubber windshield trim came off. On my coach this is a heavy duty black rubber piece that is pretty thick. Got off on an exit and basically stuck it back up and used black Gorilla tape to make sure it stayed.

Yesterday I completed the permanent fix. The rubber trim is made so it simply pushes into a slot around the entire windshield. If you pull on it you can easily remove it. I don't know if it is a common problem with these coming off but it appeared to me that a large gust of wind could certainly pull it off again.

I used a high quality clear silicon and reinstalled the entire rubber trim all around the windshield. Along the bottom of the windshield there was water under the rubber trim piece so it wasn't doing its job anyway. I was careful not to let any of the silicon escape outside the rubber when I pushed it back on.
