Top of the windshield??????????????

[TDIsmokin]

Can anybody tell me and my dealer why there is no seal at the top of the windshield between the top of the windshield and the roof. The roof actually protrudes out and on EVERY trip so far I have cleaned bug of the top leading front edge of the roof.
Seems like a bad design as this will chip big time over the years..........???

That is a little odd. There is no need for those seals on modern windshields because they're held in place entirely by silicon adhesives. I guess VW decided that if it isn't strictly needed then they'd get rid of it in the interest of simplicity. I like the look, actually, but I agree with you that it's a bug-catcher.

Check with a good glass shop about your concerns. They might be able to rig up some kind of gasket for you.

You gotta be a Canuck to understand that one (Stompin' Tom Connors song).

Thanks for the note.
Seems soo strange to me to have a big gap there.
Thanks again for the comeback . You are very helpful.
