Rubber windshield trim on 212 Limited S seems short

[NJ-JetGuy]

Noticed on my 2019 212 Limited S that the black rubber trim which runs along the bottom of the windshield (it’s about 1” thick) is and inch or so too short and does not fill the track just before where the folding window meets the frame. Of course you can’t see this when the window is closed but I am wondering if this is by design or a factory defect?

Feedback would be much appreciated.

I see this was from 2020 with no replies. Did you ever come to a conclusion/ fix?

mine has the exact same issue. Spoke to the dealer service guy. He said the rubber seal/trim shrinks from the sun/heat and is fairly common. I have a screw stickingup in that corner spot and may try to put a small piece of black rubber on it as a filler.

I found this to replace the vinyl cover on the windshield over the screws on my 07 AR230. It was not available in the Yamaha parts system at that time.

Right, the strip shortens with time and heat. Replacement is the way to return it to original condition.

You will need to confirm yours is the same profile. Not sure it is.

I have an 1” gap on both sides of the windshield on my 2007 AR230 and looking to replace and Great Lakes no longer carries or can outsource it. Any suggestions?
