Description of the problem	The weather strip on the windshield on the driver side just strarted lifting up and coming off as i was driving down the road. I checked the damage and saw the black piece completely off of the windshield. It continued to lift more as i drove. When it rained i believe water is now in the sensors because my odometer only reads "eco" above the actual odometer reading. It became such a hazard while driving i had to tape down the weather strip just to keep it from fully coming off my car and causing further paint damage to the side it smacks against. No mechanic will fix the issue due to being a maufacture error and i would have to replace the entire windshield if i did it myself. I have called kia manufactors in ga only to be placed to voicemail without response. I asked the dealership i bought the car from and they also said to call kia.
