| Description of the problem | Tl*the contact owns a 2006 kia sedona. Both the driver and passenger side window moldings fail to repel water when the windows are lowered and raised. The molding actually separates from the window and reduces visibility. The vehicle was returned to the dealer and the molding was replaced twice. The failure was corrected on the rear windows, but still persists on the front. The dealer stated that the molding was created to simply repel water; however, this is not the case in her vehicle. The current mileage was 17,500 and failure mileage was 400. Updated 01-10-08. *kb updated 01/09/08 |
