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??

I'm not sure, but it looks kinda like 24hr tape thats been left on ENTIRELY too long.

For a windshield replacement?

Or maybe a bit too much.

 

 

Thanks for the info!

whatever is on the windshield looks bad and should go away....run away...

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

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.

Its an Edgeguard.

They are installed professionally. I am surprised your looks like it does. 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'.

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.
