The problem
There may be insufficient thickness of adhesive in the contact area between the bottom of the front windshield glass and the body. Consequence of defect: this lack of adhesive may cause the windshield to dismount in an accident, thus failing to comply with fmvss 212, windshield mounting and which may allow the occupants to be ejected out of the car, causing more serious injuries or death.
The fix
Add more adhesive to bottom of front windshield glass.
Contacts
