Leak
03 X type sport
Turned a corner and water ran onto the passengers floor. It was the lower bezel under the windshield was away fro the windshield. I removed it like replacing the cabin filter.WELL I had to use a small puller to remove the wiper arm( cause they run threw it) and guess what I must have touched the corner of the windshield and now I have a crack running along the bottom( soon to go vertical and all over). I knew better to get close but I was in a hurry and was leaving in the morning for Illinois and it was predicted heavy rain.Crap.Anyway there is a grove in the cowling for the plastic bezel to snap into but 6" on both ends are missing the part that snaps into it, hents the gap and leak. After all that I still had to glue it down to the windshield. NOW I'll have to stand there when the guy replaces my windshield so he don't break it and have him glue it down when he/she reinstall it cause I bet that part isn't cheap.I don't even know where to get one but I'll start looking now. Thankful for full glass coverage. Bet after 10 grand for my house roof there going to squeal like a stuck pig when I call.Oh well I've paid for 20 years also.
