My Car: Package: Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 0 | Has anyone had a problem with the rubber roof molding strip being blown away during highway driving? (2005 Prius) I just noticed that my driver side strip is missing and I find it hard to believe that this strip could be lossended by the wind and blown away. I tend to think that someone needed this strip and helped themselves to mine instead of pucrchasing a replacement from a dealer. However, if other owners are missing either side, their may be a problem with the adhesive used to keep them in place. Your feed back would be appreciated. |

Thanks Bill, maybe the brushless carwash I use periodically had too much pressure one day. I'm off to the dealer today to order a replacement, I'll let everyone know the cost for your reference. | |

My Car: Package: Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 0 | Yeah, I noticed that I could pop one end of those strips out easily by hand when I was washing the car and trying to extract all those stupid pine needles... felt like a very weak clip, and I started getting paranoid that the strip could work loose and pop off with enough air pressure. I had a door strip launch itself off my old Subaru into the median one day for similar reasons [the cheezy double-sticky tape failed...] hmm, maybe I should figure out a way to at least anchor down the front ends better. . _H* |
