Hello, since I got my cruiser about a month ago I've noticed the front drivers side cover was kindof loose. Looked like one of the 4 little clips had broken off. I also noticed the "drip guard" or "gutter" was kindof loose and sticking up. Anyway, the other day I heard a weird wind noise all of a sudden and then when I was done driving I looked and the cover had disappeared! So I spent the rediculous $65 or $70 on Dallas toyota parts (would've been $90 at the dealership) and today the crappy little piece of walmart quality plastic arrived. I've attached some pictures of the new cover and what the situation is under it. It looks like the "drip guard" was sealed with some kind of caulk but I'm not sure if that's factory or what. Maybe they took it off when they replaced the wind shield?? (How do I tell if my windshield is original by the way) how big of a problem is this? My windshield doesn't have any leaks that I've ever seen or can see evidence of, is this "drip guard" really just an aesthetic cover for the roof-to-side seam? Thanks for your help. Bottom pic looks like where some rat bastard tried to JB weld the piece on after it started to come loose.....
P.S. Still can't believe that that terrible piece of plastic cost so much. I could've 3D printed it for less than that!(that would've been a major PiTA though)
