highway speed and flapped loudly. I taped over the with duct tape which worked but sure doesn't look too good! Will the entire windshield need replacing? Many thanks from a very pleased female owner of an '04 Coupe and formerly 4 MBZ's.
That piece of rubber should be attached to and the under the aluminum trim strip that runs across the top of the windshield. Can you tuck it back underneath? Is the aluminum piece securely in place as they often come off when people are driving and get trashed by following cars, replacements are hard to get and expensive. It is not part of the windshield but held on by clips, these clips need to hold the trim strip tight or else the strip will take flight.
