Default Question about the windshield. Theres a small gap...

Picked up this ti a little while ago, kind of overlooked this part because it was in such good condition with only 108k miles. There's a small gap at the bottom of the windshield with what looks like foam blocks supporting it. Is this a safety concern!? or am i just missing the bottom trim.



And for you please we started detailing the car. Dat 16 year old paint looking almost brand new.

Nice clean up on the paint!

My best guess is that the windshield was replaced at some point and the foam block was used by the installer to hold the glass in place while it cured. Does not look like anything unusual or dangerous.

Any yes, you are missing a part of the lower windshield cowling...
