Default C70 Request

I just had my windshield replaced and cannot remember if there was rubber edging between the windshield and the side of the pillar.

Would a C70 owner please take a photograph of the edge of the windscreen and the pillar and post it up here please just to satisfy my curiosity.

It's something i never paid attention to before but now it just bugs me....

My brain says there should be some rubber edging just so that it looks "right".
But me brain could be wrong...

Many thanks

No pictures I'm afraid but I did have a look and there is definitely no rubber between the side pillar and the windscreen. It does look a bit weird but also nicely streamlined.

Sorry to give you bad news but I have a rubber/plastic piece between where I think you mean - you did mean the outside, yes?

I pulled the image attached from the internet. It was hi-res until uploaded so not sure you can zoom into where you want to see, but you can certainly do that on the original. If you click on the link below you can download and zoom in to see for yourself.

The pictures are not as clear as they could be bit you may find them helpful if you have a similar model.

Thanks mate.

That's a nice motor there. What a pity next year is the last production.
