I took a look this morning and the seal around the outisde of the windshield is puckered and looks like crap. Anyone else have this problem or is it just me again?

 

It just started happening to me too!!! But I also just recently had to start washing my baby at those high-pressure washes. Before I just washed by hand, and I had no problems of this sort.

 

I've got an "ingrown" curl on my top drivers' side seal. It is more noticeable in the winter.

Didn't think it was much of a problem.

 

I have a curl on the top corner of the driver's side also. You guys think it is worth having the dealer look at it?

 

I had this happen to me when I bought the car. The dealer took care with no problems. It must be a common issue with our cars b/c the service guy understood the problem right away w/o showing him the issue. Just bring it to the dealer and they will take care of it.

 

I have a curl on my top drivers side corner too!! Not to mention a few other places. I'm going to get it fixed during my next dealer visit. It should be no big problem, just a sore sight to look at.

 

This will be part of my 30,000 mile check-up. Thanks.

 

Me too! Driver's side corner, seal is all currled under! We need a TSB or another 50K miles tacked on to the 100K extended warranty!

 

Mine curled up like lasange noodles.
Dealer replaced it.
I have noticed that it reacts when you hit it with hot water on a cold day or vice versa. By the time the car is dry, the problem is gone.

 

I had the same problem except mine was on the passenger side of the windshield. A buddy of mine ownes a glass company and he tried to glue it down, but the moulding was too stiff. The dealer replaced the seal no problem, but he did warn me that when they take out the windshield, sometimes they crack. They had an outside glass company do the work. As I was picking up my car, I saw the same problem on a brand new car sitting on their lot.

 

Can't remember at what mileage mine happened, might have been around 20-30k. Dealer replaced and it looks like new. Today at 60k, I can see it starting all over again. Looks like I'm going to need to have it replaced again at my next check up because you are right, it looks like crap.

Obviously this is a design flaw, maybe they should do a recall and replace everyone's windshield molding due to safety reasons. Bad molding let's water in and over time, the glass could come loose and fly into your face while you're going 115mph against a stiff headwind.

 

Yea, mine is doing it a little bit, and my fiancé's TL-S is doing it a bit as well. She's already had it fixed once, but it's coming back. It is a little annoying when it comes back...

 

me too, both sides.

 

i had it also, dealer will fix without any problems. u will have to ride around with a blue tape around the glass for 24hrs!!!

 

Both the TL and the CLS that we have was doing that. It's from those high pressure car wash places. I just be careful and try not to blast the water jets directly at the window seals. If it does come loose, I simply tuck it back in, no problem there.

 

Yes, this is common on early 2001 models; go to your dealer, they should replace it no questions asked.

 

I never go to high pressure car washes. It screws up the rims and after all, I am the self proclaimed President of "The No Scratched Rims Club"!

 

Does anyone have any pics that they can post of this? I don't think it's happening on my car, especially if it was an early MY '01 issue, but I'm curious as to what it looks like.

 

I had this problem but who cares... I can fix it myself... it curles by itself under heat of the sun

 

I have this problem also. The Dealer tried to repair it. Their fix lasted for about a week. Then it returned. It doesn't leak so I can live with it.
