Last year while on a trip to North Carolina the front windshield moulding blew off. I was able to pull over the the side of the road and observe the damage which was minimal. I continued on my trip, and when I returned home the outer moulding was replaced by the now out-of-business warner robins olds Cadillac. Today while on my way home from macon, ga the moulding blew off again, this time flying in the open window, striking me in the face and knocking off my glasses. Luckily the traffic was light and I was able to pull over the the side of the road safely. If I were going faster and if the traffic was more congested this could have been very serious. I intend on taking my car to the new Cadillac dealership here in warner robins and insisting that the repair be done properly.
