Show us your crack (windshields)

Does it still bother you from an appearance perspective?

I am thinking if I do it, I would ensure the strip extends beyond the glass and then trim it to match the curvature in the corner.. make it look a bit more “stock” looking?

I don't even notice the appearance. You can definitely try to trim it differently, but I couldn't find a better way without compromising the sticky contact with the windshield. The rubber flexes, but not in that direction.

So you have exercised your windshield in various scenarios of temperature extremes and no cracking huh?

The trimming I was thinking of is illustrated below.. blue is the rubber trim and black is windshield. Trim via the dashed line, to fit the curve of the windshield. This won’t work you say?

Nice. Would be great to share some pics of where you applied this. Thx

I tried to make it go around the corner on the right without cuts and kinda made a dog's breakfast of it. Put relief cuts in the left corner and it might be a little better. Been on there a year now and I don't notice at all.
Other than the corners, it looks great.
Terminated at the top corners.

So you have hit the windshield with defrost hot air on cold days, no issues huh?

Yes.
I don't baby it or treat it any differently than any other car.
Not a great lot of days that call for defrost here in Memphis, though.
Plenty of days this past summer that I had condensation on the bottom of the windshield from A/C...
