Windshield lower moulding fitment problem

I had my windshield replaced by safelite a few months ago and recently while washing my car, I noticed a gap below the passenger lower windshield moulding at the corner. I called safelite back and let them know of the problem. They sent a guy out to replace the clips that are holding the moulding in place because he determined that one of the clips were broken. So even with the new clips in place, there is still a gap on the passenger side. I looked at the driver's side and the moulding piece fits very snugged.

Is there a trick to installing this piece back? I need to call safelite back again and have them send another guy out to fix this problem.




thanks

Make sure all the clips are in correctly, sometimes they dont' snap in them all the way in and they did not break the trim itself.

safelite called me back and told me that they forgot to order the corner locking tabs. That is why the chrome trim wasn't secured down properly. I think they're #7 on the diagram.

Thanks for the update, I would get all the clips checked. We have the clip set linked above.
