Curious if this a potential water leak waiting to wreak havoc or just cosmetic. I believe thenthese are just cosmetic but wanted to check… the rubber trim is pretty much gone on the windshield at the top and the rear window has a small chunk missing at the corner. Should I get this fixed asap or just cosmetic? Is this something they would replace at a glass shop like safelite,etc?

The windshield is glued down so it shouldn't leak, but that looks horrible you should replace it. You can do it yourself in about 10 minutes including time to clean up the old rubber.

Right I wouldn’t say 10min. ☝️😂 I’ve replaced the front one twice over 18yrs I believe. Took me about 1 hr to clean the old and install the new one. Never had an issue with the rear one.

OK YMMV on the cleanup part but after that it's only a couple minutes to stuff the new seal in it's slot.

Replaced the rear on both cars, I have a front seal that will be here today. Pretty easy for the most part… cleanup was the worst part
