Anyone else with a loose trim problem?

I've had my 09 TSX for almost 10 months. About a month ago, I noticed a flapping noise when driving at a highway speeds. After quite a bit of searching the car for possible sources for the noise, I discovered that a paint matched trim piece along the driver's side front windshield had come loose near the roofline. When driving at speeds above 40 MPH, enough air gets under it to cause the piece to flap. I carried my TSX in to the dealer who had to order a replacement part with some clips that hold the part in place. Once they fixed it, I thought all was well, but yesterday I noticed the piece was loose at the top again. When I first carried it in, the service manager mentioned that was the second one he had seen. Any body else?

Mine still holds ok, but I only had the car for 2.5 months. I can tell you that it doesn't feel solid and bends whenever I apply a little pressure while hand washing my car.

I had the same issues, I've had my TSX for 11 months and about 4 months ago I noticed the trim piece on the passanger side windshield was "poppin out" . I took in to the dealer and ordered new clips for it.

I have the same problem, but for my TSX is chipped away at the paint when it was flairing around on the highway... Do you think they will repaint it for me

I had this same issue. The dealer replaced it for free and said it was a known issue. Just talk to your dealer.
