Loose windshield

Here's a new one (for me). Anyone else?

The top of my windshield on the passenger side is loose. Guess it isn't that uncommon, or is it? Seems like an easy enough fix to have it resealed right?
It isn't leaking but the material on the a pillars are all wrinkled up.

It happens to me. Mine was leaking.
I put clear silicon. It's been 2 years .never had issue again.

If you notice the material on the A-pillars wrinkling, it could mean there are issues with the windshield supports. I think it's a good idea to check for any structural damage that might be affecting how the windshield fits.

Thank you both very much for your comments, advice and insight.
I had never considered using silicone myself, that's not a bad idea!

I spoke to one company so far and they said they would replace it because it's 'more than likely going to break anyway when they try and take it off'.

Kiitos again to you gents
