My car is falling apart! :(

First I got not one but two nails in my run flats. one right after the other. I have three cracks in the windshield and now to **** me off more the black piece of plastic that runs up the side of the windshield broke off. It was always loose since I bought the car and i noticed it was even more loose the other day. then while on the freeway it broke off 3/4 the way down and flew off into the sunset :(

Do you guys know the piece I mean? and where can i find it?(whats it called?)

sniff sniff

A pillar cover - it's not an unheard of issue. $60 or so from the dealer IIRC.

It's not like humpty dumpty - you can put it back together again.

Looking at your post, I guess i'm not the only one who had 2 nails on my run-flats right after I got my car

Great excuse to dump them run-flats
