I just noticed that this trim, which goes across the whole base of the windscreen, is a very poor fit.
Specifically the centre section and extending somewhat to the drivers side past the central (for nearside) wiper pivot is clear of the glass by up to 1cm. ![]() It only seems to be fixed by 3 hex head bolts, one at each end and one in the centre. And the wiper arms obviously block removal as well. The end bolts look OK (and have non-circular washers) but the centre one has some rubber debris on top, is rusty, and has a rusty disc washer under the head. I have before suspected that the windscreen was replaced in the past, so maybe this wasn't refitted properly? Can someone post a photo, or at least describe, what this central fixing should be - and confirm there are just 3 in total? This big gaps also means that debris washed down on the windscreen isn't trapped by the mesh in this trim, probably adding to my scuttle drain woes. ![]()
