Updated: Jun 19

Whether you need universal trims, EPDM rubber options, or specialised mouldings, our products are designed to provide superior OEM quality.


Introduction to Windscreen Trims


Windscreen trims might seem like a minor detail in the overall construction of a vehicle, but they play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and functionality of a car. These trims fit snugly over the windscreen, acting as a barrier against various elements and enhancing the overall appearance of the vehicle. Understanding the importance of high-quality windscreen trims can help you appreciate why investing in premium options is beneficial.


The Role of Windscreen Trims in Vehicle Protection


Windscreen trims serve multiple protective functions. They act as a sealant, preventing rainwater from seeping into the vehicle's interior and guarding against debris that could potentially cause damage. Additionally, some trims are designed to deflect rain away while using the wipers, further enhancing visibility and safety during adverse weather conditions. By ensuring a proper fit and seal, windscreen trims contribute to reducing wind noise, making for a quieter and more comfortable ride.

Windscreen Trim FAQs


Can windscreen trim be replaced by the vehicle owner, or does it require professional installation?

While it is possible for vehicle owners to replace windscreen trim themselves if they have the right tools and instructions, professional installation is recommended to ensure it is fitted correctly and securely.


What are the signs that windscreen trim needs replacing?

Signs include cracking, hardening, or detachment of the trim, which can lead to leaks and increased wind noise. Visible wear and tear or discolouration are also indicators.


Are there different types of windscreen trim for different climates or conditions?

Yes, windscreen trims are made from materials like rubber or silicone that can be engineered to withstand different environmental conditions, such as extreme temperatures or UV exposure.


How long does windscreen trim typically last before needing replacement?

The lifespan of windscreen trim can vary based on material quality, environmental exposure, and vehicle usage, but typically, it should last the vehicle’s lifetime and only require replacement when the windscreen gets replaced.



By understanding the importance of high-quality windscreen trims and the benefits they offer, you can make informed decisions for maintaining your vehicle's performance and appearance.
