Re-attaching top rubber mould
« on: July 16, 2024, 08:57:38 PM »

Sorry,  it's my first post, so I'm probably doing everything wrong! The top rubber mould strip of my 2011 Jazz, ie the strip of rubber which fits into a recess where the windscreen meets roof panel, has become detached,  only being fixed at either end. It makes a very loud noise when driving above about 50 mph. How do I re-attach? Just pushing it back in doesn't work as it comes out immediately. Do I need a special adhesive, or some sealant? I'll use Gorilla Tape for a temporary fix.

I'd look at YouTube for a video, there was one for my year model which is later than yours but may be similar in principle.
If I remember correctly, there's a hole/recess front and rear of the channel with a particular way to get one end in.
I would try to avoid glueing it as that might prove to be an issue getting it off.

Welcome to the forum.  :D

When we had the screen replaced on our Jazz earlier this year, I seem to recall the Autoglass technician just pushed the seal back in. Certainly recall no hammer was used to get it back in place, think it was just his palm.

I can't find anything in the manual re windscreen. However, it is very useful for information and can be found here: https://hondafitjazz.com/manual3/index.html

Oh, and you should be posting in the correct Jazz model forum - https://clubjazz.org/forum/index.php?board=48.0

If the rubber strip is in good condition push home best when done on a warm sunny day .
