What is wrong

Poor adhesion may occur between paint layers in the windshield mounting area due to defective paint batches or overspraying.

The risk

Paint separation in the windshield areas would leadto non-compliance with fmvss 212 retention requirements. Loss of windshieldretention ability could cause winshield to separate from vehicle without warningand harm vehicle occupants and others in the vicinity.

The fix

Reinstall windshield to insure proper retention.
