Remedy:
In the case of complaints, unscrew the water deflector in the detached area only
Place an assembly wedge (Figure 1) between sectional molding and water deflector, and twist the wedge at regular intervals to press small
notches/waves in the sectional molding. (See red arrows)
This produces a higher clamping force when installing.
Assembly:
Carefully press water deflector into sectional molding
(do not knock/tap as there is a risk of cracking the windshield!)
The water deflector is correctly installed when it protrudes from the windshield rubber seal by max. 1 mm. (Figure 2)
Screw water deflector back down.
