The piping there is in two pieces with a break just long enough to fit the
windscreen post through. At that point you will need to cut the ends of
the piping at an angle to match the angle of the post, especially the
longer piece in front, so that the top edge with the bead on it will come
up flush with the edge of the rubber boot or nestle up underneath the
rubber boot, your choice. I stopped my piping at the edge of the boot so
the rubber piece lays down as tightly as possible against the body. I
think it looks better without the piping bead holding the boot up off the
surface.
