Actually noticed this morning that part of the rubber seal on the top of the windsheild, driver's side is a bit loose and sticking up. Not sure exactly how to fix it though, any suggestions?

I haven't had any rubber seal problems, but I do get little pieces of padding coming off the inside of the top ledges (mostly along the window tops). Not sure what the stuff is really for -- I keep pushing it back up there.

Itsjustme, My problem is the rubber seal on top of windshield on passenger side (near rear view window) - probably about 8" worth). First noticed after Ashville s2k days (I'm sure there is no connection). Will check with dealer in about a week and post response. Tom

Honda service says problem is "lip" is "out" and to correct use a credit card to "put back in" - apparently this lip above the windshield is also used on Accords and the problem seems to come from using pressure washers spraying the water down and the lip can come out (I know, I'm very articulate).

They shoved the part down in and said a sunny day will restore the smooth seal.
