Replacing windshield... Can I reuse the molding?
I am going to have the windshield replaced. My question is, do I need to get a new molding or can the one I have now be reused?
Safelite said a new molding was $300 by itself.
Any ideas guys?

I had windshields replaced on a Cadillac and a Buick and did not replace the molding. I did not have any trouble with leaks. The installer said with the newer cars there should be no problem with leaks. The older cars had a gasket that if not replaced could cause a leak. Hope this will help.
