Manufacturer defect
Had to have Percy's windshield replaced yesterday. A small rock left a chip which became a 4 inch crack in about 5 minutes.
Anyway, the repair fellow did the job in our driveway and I got to watch. He asked if the window had been replaced before and I told him it hadn't. He pointed out that the mounting tabs for the "A" pillar trim were snapped, but screwed in place. It's the shiny black exterior trim between the driver's window and the windshield.
The trim mounts with I think 3 screws and 4 snaps. The screws are under the window seal rubber. It hasn't appeared loose, so, I am not over worried. The other side was intact. Looks like it was over torqued. ????
