I pretty much thought that after the dealer fixed everything at my first service, I wouldn't have to deal with any new problems for awhile. WRONG! :facepalm
Now I'm noticing when the car sits in the sun for an hour, the plastic drainage molding at the bottom of my windshield heats up and warps, causing it to lift up about a 1/4 of an inch and about 8 inches long. I can see that double sided tape was used to hold it down but the tape is obviously not holding. When taken out of the sunlight, it cools down and the molding settles flat against the windshield again.
I'm not going to have the dealer fix this since I'm sure they'd just use the same lousy tape again, so, I'm thinking of removing a couple of the screws, lifting the molding up and applying some silicon along the length of it, then screwing it back down.
Have any of you had this problem and if so, what did you use to tie it down to the windshield? Is there a better double-sided waterproof tape or have you used silicon? Thanks for your input.
