Cracked windscreen seal

[ClassicAU]

Hi all, just after some quick advice. The rubber seal at the top of my windscreen has cracked quite badly in three places and separated apart up the top of the screen. I am a bit worried that water is getting in there now and its going to rust. How does this happen? The only theories i could think of was that the bass from my subwoofer has vibrated the windscreen to the point that the seal cracked, or (most likely!) it has dried out in the sun. Has anyone else experienced this at all, and how did they repair it? I have included a couple of pics so you can see what i mean. Any suggestions are appreciated.

The seal you are looking at is not a seal, it's just a cosmetic trim, the screen uses a urethane adhesive to hold it in place and seal it, the split rubber is purely a cosmetic thing to make it look more finished

Thanks guys. The main question i have now i guess, is how do i fix it? Do i need to replace the whole trim? If so, where can i go to get this thing done, or can i buy a replacement and do it myself?

Thanks Daniel. Did they fit it for you, or did you fit it your self? If so, how hard was it to do?

The rabbit's, it's the rabbit's. They jump all over your car and damage everything.

As has been said its not really needed, BA and on dont have this rubber surround at all, so it must be ok.
