Plastic Clip - Front Windshield

[Jonliv]

Not sure of the technical term :p

Its the plastic clip on the driver's side, you use if to hold toll slips, parking stubs, etc.

I recently had to change my windshield due to a rock that was spit up by a tractor trailer on the highway. :mad: :mad:

The installer of the new windshield was not able to get the clip to sitg where it was originally, they could not remove all the original adhesive.

I think I am out of luck, but I thought I would ask. Anything I can do to get the clip to work again? I know its a minor thing, but (1) comes in handy, (2) bugs me not having the car the way its was/supposed to be.


Any suggestions, help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance

No suggestions, but my windshield is due for replacement as well. I was always wondering whether they would be able to reinstall the clip - now I know the likely bad news. I will ask our local dealer whether they sell the clip separately.

I just put a new windshield in my 2001, and I still have my clip -
perhaps it's simply a matter of finding an installer who knows
how to retain the clip.

I requested my dealer to check on the rattle on my clip. However, they couldnt remove it! So I guess Ill just change that with the crack windshield.

Oh
the clip is still there, just doesn't push against the windshield as it did before

I also had to get a new windshield due to the tremendous number of rocks commonly flying about the Seattle area freeways. I asked ahead about the clip and was told it would be fine. After having the new clip installed, I have noticed that it doesn't fit as tightly against the windshield as it originally did. So, I keep my Washington State Parks parking pass under the clip to tighten its fit against the glass.
