Black Bullitt's Chrome Window Trim

[Jasef]

After last night's car show, I noticed the chrome window trim on my driver-side window was starting to come up a little. Looking at it closely, it seems to be held down with some adhesive that is starting to come loose. Has anyone else experienced any issues with this? I'll take it in to the dealer to have it fixed, just curious if anyone else has the same issue. I tried to take some pics to show where it is lifting up, ignore the dust please ;-)
Before anyone asks, I have only washed the car by hand so it wasn't caused by a high-pressure water spray. It was not lifting up yesterday when I washed and waxed and it sat in the garage all day out of the sun.

I don't have that issue with mine but I do believe the quarter window will need to be removed to replaced the trim as it is one piece. I may be wrong.

Mines just slightly off too. I'ts not lifting at all, its just not perfectly aligned.

Same here, slightly lifted. When I put pressure on it, it will seat better. If it's a window removal, likely won't do anything about it, unless its gets worse.

I agree. The more I look and compare to the other side, it just seems that the trim may just be shaped like that. I do not want to remove the window either...I'll see what the body shop says when I take it in for the 30 day curtesy check.

*I edited the thread's title because I don't think this is a trouble, just a question at this point. I don't want to be misleading by not having an accurate title :-)

My passenger side has this issue. I plan to mention it at my first service interval.

@Jasef ... it does look like your door is definitely lower!!!

I picked up my brand new Bullitt today, same issue on the left side, will be asking them to fix it at the first service. I think it's just stuck on with double sided tape, I can't see the window needing to come out?

The trim and window are one piece, they may be able to adjust it a little bit, but they are sold as 1 unit.

It is what it is...just get used to it like all the other BULLITT owners!! I think it’s just the Black ones...lol

Thanks, good to know about the one piece, that makes it more likely I'll try and stick it down better without replacing it, sounds like a big job and could cause more problems.

And it's not just black ones, mine's green. Interesting it seems to be the same window though.

American cars are like that. We have to suck it up. What about squeezing some sort of glue in there and pushing down?

I took mine to the dealer. They verified the window is one unit and needed to be replaced under warranty to fix the issue. Took about a week to get the window, and a day for the install. Looks perfect, no whistling, even at freeway speeds, and I shot water on it tonight for its bath. No leaking. I'd say this was a successful fix.

Let us know if it stays or lifts again, after a month or two.....

Will do!
