Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

1 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I visited an auto glass shop today and was told that the only way to replace the black plastic windshield trim was to replace the windshield...I'm hoping that the windshield dude is mistaken. The trim is that which butts up to the windshield and goes under the lip of the seal. Where it is crazed and broken off, it looks like aluminum is exposed. Someone give me some good news please.
