2013 GLK350 4-Matic
Windshield Strip

The windshield seal on my 2013 GLK 350 becomes loose at times, especially at high speeds (70mph+).

I pop it back in but surely there is a better solution?

I replaced mine with a new one and it did the same after a few months. Ended up gluing it down with RTV adhesive.

Is it loose at the top? How did you figure this out ? My 2013 has a lot of wind noise the faster I go. Is it probably the windshield gasket , and the fix is silicone adhesive ?

i looked at it after research and it was noticeably loose and “popping” up at the top, in the middle (but not on the sides). the noise can get really loud and startling at high speeds. sounds like hail on my roof.
