Default The Bentley makes it sound so easy...

"Pull left and right water deflectors out from retaining strips (from bottom upward)."

That is all it says.

Default I think that "flies right out the window" once you are on your second windshield.

Probably plenty of urethane holding those suckers in now.

Default I found a big puddle under neath my pass. side floor mat.....

I'm going to let the dealer hunt this out.

Methinks the drains are plugged. After only 3 years.

Default When my windshield was replaced........

that's really all the technicians did...(twice!) they just pulled them right out, then when done, pushed them back into the grooves.....I'd just work it out every few inches moving upward so you don't bend/snap the thing!
