Looked at a few cars this weekend. One with as little as 200 miles. Two of them had the weather strip starting to peel off from the top of windshield. What's up with that, and what's the fix. They just glue it down or what?

The dealer will replace but I just asked them to reglue mine and its been good ever since.

They use two sided sticky tape that's useless. There is a factory campaign to improve the fixing method, mine just got done

Someone had posted the factory campaign pdf but cant seem to locate it.

Just DIY it and use double sided tape, like the dealer does. It's easy and doesn't take long.

This is not the proper way to fix it, use urethane glue. Procedure attached below. You can use U428 since its accessible and doesn't require primer.

Black rtv (silicone sealant) from any auto supply or hardware store. Has worked for over two years for me!

Glad this thread is here. My windshield trim just popped up on my 12C as well. Ordered the Black RTV sealant and will be re-adhering it shortly.

Some dealers are still using double sided tape. I gotta they didn't get the memo. Besides, some owners may feel more comfortable with applying tape on their cars than silicone.
