QUESTION: Sebring convertible. I apologize for not mentioning that. Also my windshield leaks. I believe the problem is the trim along the side of the windshield (garnish trim). The trim strip is loose and I can push it down. Water actually drips through the door along the black water strips. How can I also fix this along with the window motor. Thank you
