The trim snaps over that gutter and gives the front corner of the van its finished look. Original trims fade grey, crack, and their clips break, so the trim lifts or goes missing — often after a windshield replacement. A missing trim lets dirt and water sit in the gutter seam, and that seam is a classic Vanagon rust spot. Fitting a new trim protects the seam, cuts wind noise from a flapping piece and makes a fresh windshield install look right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarefully pry off the old trim, working from one end so you do not chip the paint.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean the gutter channel, remove any rust and touch up the paint before fitting the new trim.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck the clips; replace any that are cracked or have lost their grip.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePress the trim into place evenly along its length.
