Its not needed since the inside trim covers the windshield to pinch weld joint. If you don't use it, you may have to trim a little of the squished urethane so the inside trim seats close to the windshield however...
This is interesting----that there is a foam dam/tape on the endside of the windshield to keep the urethane from squishing into the visible inside of the windshield that isnt covered by the inside molding.
All of the trucks I have seen that had windshields "professionally" installed had visible squished uneven line of urethane on the inside perimeter of the windshield-very ugly.
My truck has this ugly squished urethane on the inside of the windshield. Is it possible to cut this hard,dry urethane with a knife and get a professional straight line of urethane ? How easy does old dried urethane cut? Without cutting/scratching the glass?
