Consumer Description

WHILE TRAVELING IN GERMANY (US ARMY) AT SAFE CRUISING SPEEDS AVERAGING 100 TO 115 MPH (NORMAL FOR GERMANY), THE BLACK TRIM AROUND THE WINDSHIELD CAME LOOSE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FROM BOTTOM TO TOP AND WAS FLAPPING IN THE WIND. NOTICED THE PASSANGER SIDE TRIM WAS ALSO COMING LOOSE. DEPENDING UPON SPEED, IT WAS HITTING DRIVERS WINDOW. INCIDENT WAS SURPRISING AND COULD HAVE SHOCKED THE DRIVER INTO AN ACCIDENT. IT APPEARS THE TRIM WAS GLUED AND NOTCHED SO IT COULD NOT COME LOOSE BUT LEFT ENOUGH HANGING OVER THE PAINTED AREAS TO BE CAUGHT BY THE WIND. APPEARS TO HAVE FAILED. GOING TO SEE LOCAL DEALER TOMORROW FOR REPAIR. ALTHOUGH MY CAR WAS BOUGHT IN MD, AAFES SELLS THE SAME HONDA ACCORD HERE TO THE MILITARY. HAD TO USE DUCT TAPE AND REDUCE SPEED TO MAKE IT HOME WITHOUT FURTHER DAMAGE.*AK
