Hello 'Mud - My insurance covers windshield replacement with a small deductible so after taking a pretty substantial rock to the windshield of my 2003 LC last summer, I took it to my local dealership collision center to get it replaced. I’ve had good luck with them in the past on my 62 and my 80 with windshield replacements, as well as some body work on the 100. Once the estimator got the windshield out, he was able to see that the previous owner had an aftermarket windshield installed, and that installer had used some sort of bolts to lock in the glass, which had involved drilling the A pillar leading to rust. I went and checked it out and agreed to have them do some metal work on the A pillar to get it back to stock which would come out of my pocket. I picked it up and the work looked good - satisfied customer.
A couple months later, my son pointed out that the head liner fabric and pad had started peeling back at the top of the windshield. I reached out to the collision center and after finally getting in touch with them I am getting some push back on why this is happening - that it doesn’t necessarily have to do with the windshield replacement. With as thorough as the estimator was on getting the A pillars right again, I am pretty confident he would not let the rig roll out of the shop with a headliner peeling back. Have any of you had the front windshield section of headliner peel back over time/on its own without removing the windshield? What is the fix? Does the windshield need to be removed again? Does the complete headliner and pad need to be replaced? Any insight appreciated!
Hard to see in attached pictures, but pad is peeling back substantially as well.
