Problem with wind

I know it was particularly blowy today but driving along a motorway at 70 mph I didn't expect the nearside front door pillar trim to blow off! The noise nearly scared me sensless and looking at the trim sticking out at a jaunty angle I was scared I was going to lose it completely before I could get off the motorway and stop.

All tapped back into place ok and no damage done that I can see so far but anyone else seen anything similar? Very strange!

Didn't you're mother tell you to never eat Baked Beans and curry on the same day Laughing LRs are a fond memory, apart from the maintenance.

On a serious note - have you have a winscreen replaced - if so it's probably a case of them breaking the clips when they refitted the trim - I seem to remember that happening to another member earlier this year. LRs are a fond memory, apart from the maintenance.

Mmm interesting. We have had a new windscreen but not for a year or so but I guess not had winds like this for a while. Naturally worried if it will happen again. Thanks for the tip; I'll investigate further tomorrow. Cheers

MrH is spot on ...this is a fairly common occurrence if the windscreen has been fiidled with Thumbs Up 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021
