Your rear view camera and A-pillar clips that were supposed to be provided through recalls are still unavailable, making it unsafe to back up your vehicle. Additionally, the A-pillar trim clip could potentially detach and endanger other drivers on the road. Getting these recalled components installed should restore safe visibility and secure the trim.

Having read in a newspaper about the side windshield trim flying off it got me thinking about the rubber seals that go under that trim. On my Ford Explorer I have had those rubber seals split and and start ripping in strips. I have had to glue them to keep them from ripping off and maybe hit a vehicle behind me.
