Windshield Trim: What is this part called?

I have 2014 Sierra. At the bottom of the windshield there is a trim piece / moulding that meets the windshield glass. It is not seated properly and sealed and kind of wavy. I guess it's intended to seal to some degree and let water roll over. Is this cosmetic or is there an easy fix? Pic attached. I've tried to press it down but not much luck. Im hoping not to have to replace the whole piece which looks like it'd be quite involved and taking off wipers. 480FA999-.jpg.5f5b5f9f97e771ef46298725944f0e4a.jpg Thanks

Curious, original glass, or did you have it replaced and then found it? If so, make the glass company address it.

Old post, I know. Was hoping you got the answer. That black rubber trim, right? My 2015 Sierra AND mu 2015 Yukon both have the same issue. We're you able to order it?

The rubber trim is part of that large plastic cowl piece (air inlet grill)  I don't believe it can be purchased separately.  I replaced my inlet cowl for the same problem.  Usually the two end parts (on the corners) of the cowl will need replacing too.

@Texasdeere Thanks. I think I'm gonna try a windshield replacement joint and see what they have. The 'cowl' part is still in good condition. The rubber strip is all that has weathered out. I will update when I find out. 😀

How about trying a heat gun to smooth out the waves?

Hello, I was the original poster and forgot about this thread. I never did anything about it. That piece is still wavy. It doesn't bother me that much, I was mainly concerned if it was causing a leak anywhere, to which I don't think it is. If you figure anything out, please let us know. thanks

      I agree.   However, the owner's manual, suggests that a drop over full is just as bad as a drop under. (Read black and white letters only, insert no common sense.)

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      That P0700 and loss of power suggests something significant is amiss to me.   More/other codes may suggest otherwise; I would investigate those prior to spending the money to change fluid on a transmission with a bad torque converter.    The relatively sudden escalation of symptoms to me suggests that something began failing (initial shuddering experienced) and rapidly deteriorated (slipping/loss of power). Fluid condition alone wouldn't cause the sudden escalation of problems - though it might have been the cause of the deterioration up to the point of failure.

      AWD conversion to Z71

      Stabilitrack operation is in a sense a separate/independent operation from the operation of 'traction control'. Stabilitrack is used to keep the vehicle traveling in the DIRECTION intended, it can brake independent wheels and or adjust throttle to influence the direction the vehicle is moving.   This can be illustrated by a 'fish-tailing' example. At high speeds, if the stabilitrack detects excessive yaw (the vehicle spinning like a top, it has a sensor for this), based on inputs from steering angle it determines that the vehicle is spinning out of control, and begins working to control that unintended spin. By reducing throttle input or braking specific wheels to control or prevent the spin.   The traction control works similarly using the ABS system to slow spinning wheels and thus transfer power to 'other' wheels. The goal being to achieve wheel speeds that are all in agreement with each other, the truck then assumes that since all the wheels speeds are the same no spinning is occurring. For example, launching up a wet boat ramp, there is no excessive yaw present, traction control alone can manage the wheel spin by braking spinning wheels and cutting throttle.   Stabilitrack and traction control from a hardware and software standpoint are basically one in the same, I don't remember specifically in 2004, but you couldn't get a truck with one and not the other. The switch on the dash, could turn off the traction control, but not necessarily the stabilitrack.    A confusing comment about stabilitrack vs. traction control, the same components serve both operations, but marketing could advertise them as two separate features.    The AWD system is another separate system entirely, in addition to the other two, it uses the same wheel speed inputs but can also vary the transfer case clutch application to direct some power to the front axle, working in conjunction with the traction control to bring wheel speeds together.   The power split will never be greater than 50:50, the same as 4-high. It will never direct MORE power to the front axle than the rear.

      Start-Stop ?

      Not based on the new photos I'm seeing.  Car and Driver posted additional photos that shows an auto stop start button left of the steering wheel.

      Car and Driver is reporting wireless CarPlay WILL remain, and they posted several additional photos, including a left knee shot, but the only hard buttons there are e-brake, auto start stop, tailgate and cargo light.  Also definitely looks like High Country and ZR2 get micro fiber on the center of the console lid and the ZR2 possibly also on the seats.
