Windshield trim pulling away

[Donald]

So the windshield trim seems to be pulling away. Not sure why. Windshield never replaced. 2021 Crosstrek.

Plan is to wait until a few hot dry days to dry it out, then vacuum and leaves or seed pod strings and push it back by hand.

I assume this is only cosmetic, Not associated with the sealing of the windshield against a leak.

that seems to happen on many older cars..like you said, not related to water sealing, just the plastic cowl cover pulling back (shrinking?) a bit

Yeah just try cleaning it up and putting it back together. If some of the connections aren't sticking lay a drop of strong plastic glue on them to hold.

Looks warped, likely can only be replaced unless you can heat and reshape which is likely a 50/50 bet.

I wonder if they didn't push the clips back in until they clicked.

The windshield seal is below the glass, generally. Sealant.

The Crosstrek has had zero issues. Gas, oil and tires. Has not been back to the dealer for anything. Goes to my local Indy mechanic for a once over once a year. He has not found anything.

Brakes will need to be replaced at some point in the next 5K to 10K
