While driving the interstate, my windshield trim started to peel away, striking the drivers side window as it got worse. I chose not to stop on the side of the interstate for safety reasons and by the time i arrived at the nearest rest area, 8-10" of the trim had come loose. As i was still 60 miles from home, i chose to tuck the trim into the door and close it, which kept it from tearing away anymore. The next day,…
