Default Re-installing windshield tape?

Does anyone know how to re-install the windshield tape or can recommend alternatives? I don't have a hardtop anymore so I'd like a black windshield surrounding back. Thanks!

Good luck, the vinyl pieces i believe are still available from Honda and cost around $85.00. You may want to price having it done at a place that does vinyl wrapping. To have it done correctly involves getting the vinyl underneath the molding which is a PITA. Best I recall besides prepping the surface (cleaning/remove any wax) you will need to apply the center section first and then apply the side sections.
