Do you know if the foam piece for yours between the dash and windshield is attached to the glass or the dash?
I have no idea…and there’s really no way for me to tell, unfortunately. I would have to try to rip it out of there to find out. I assume that the foam should’ve been installed before the glass, based on how far back there it is located. It would be a PITA for a person (during vehicle assembly) to have to go in there and install it after the fact. Not to mention, there’s nothing that would really hold that foam in place, which really makes me think it is pinned in there by the glass. It’s probably there to keep the dash from expanding (due to heat) and rattling against the glass. It may also help with glass installation. Just my guess.

So when they replaced the windshield, they didn’t replace that foam piece on the dash that you sent a picture of… so that explains why I can see a lot past the dash when I shove my camera down there lol. Got myself the foam piece, do you know if the foam piece for yours between the dash and windshield is attached to the glass or the dash?
Were you able to just stuff the foam in the gap?

Yeap! It’s easier if you just use a pry tool or something to help you fit it evenly in the gap
Cool, my windshield tech said they don’t re-use those because they could get glue on them when aligning the window. Do you have a part number? Also. Can you post a photo of the top of your windshield trim on the outside? I am getting mine done and we ordered the Honda part number but it isn’t correct
