Yeh im instrusted in this too, have to fix the dam rust in the windscreen.
I spoke to a mate that owns a novis windscreen joint but they just use the stuff that comes on the roll and join it.
Im thinking of giving Holden a call and see if you can get a factory one from a S2 VT.
You also have to bog or solder the existing holes at the top each side of the windscreen from the standard plastic moldings.

yea i filled those up when we gave her a respray, hmm i'd rather it didnt have a join it.. i'm sure you can buy it as a full piece i've seen a few vl's with them but no one can tell me where i can get one.. tried calling few windscreen joints they said the same as you, asked supercheap and autobarn they have no idea =[

They are a good idea because the rubber is soft and seals better, make sure you ask the windscreen guy to pack in the black urethene so there is no air gaps for moisture.

It is called a universal seal.

09-07-08, 07:30 GMT+10#11 Universal seal, not as wide as the VT seal, and goes right around the windscreen. Fits great, can easily see how it stops water getting in down the sided where the factory trim plastic does nothing. Does take away from the original look but you get used to it, and I'm sure if you tried you could adapt the factory side trims to fit if you wanted to. Mine were too damaged to bother.

10-07-08, 23:16 GMT+10#18 I wasn't going to do it but my panelbeater highly recommended it. There's another calais I see sometimes around work that has had it done, went and checked it out and was sold on the idea. That and the fact the last VL I had done lasted 8 months before the visible signs of rust started showing again, although they stuffed around with the windscreen on tha so it probably didn't help.
