Smile 2005 Winshield Seal Replacement

Hi Guys

I am a newbie here so bear with me if I stumble.

I need to replace the Windshield Seals on the wifes 2005 X-Type. See the photo attached. Anyone know were I can get them and do they just pop off?


Thanks in advance.

The left and right trim strips do just pull off, kind of at an angle towards yourself as you stand next to the vehicle. I did a Google/ebay search and could not find them. Maybe someone with a Parts Catalog would be able to locate them. The part number stamped on the one I just pulled off my car says "1X43 5403683-A0". That is the LH side piece.

Thanks Nick

I was a little hesitant to pull at them.

Indeed, they are not seals but rather just trim strips, as the windshield is glued on. This is what it looks like underneath the strip (mine was missing one, but found it in the boot):
