Wocketfast is an unknown quantity at this point
Default My windscreen lifts when I close the door???

Erm as it says, when I close the door the lower drivers side of my windscreen can be seen lifting from the dash, just slightly. It also does it if I push

I have checked the bit of plastic at the bottom and the screws are tight even if that doesnt appear to hold the windscreen in.

Are these glued in? has my glue died? Do I need to get this fixed ASAP? (glass cover on insurance anyone seeing as it got a chip/small crack in it going to JAE)

Worried its going to fall out , and you just know it will happen when its pissing it down

or you could follow your local bin lorry, follow it, get road name, time, reg number and the company name, ring in and say something flew out of it onto my car and damaged it, hey presto, free windscreen

You could also steal an old ladies handbag and use her pension to pay the excess on the windscreen cover
