The Edge Workshop Manual provides a General Procedures description for Fixed Glass, but the Workshop Manual lacks a separate procedure for the removing and installing the windshield.

Online videos here and here show aftermarket firms performing windshield installations on GEN 1 Edges with their Panoramic Roof front & side trim panels in place and unaffected.

 

One minimal risk to the roof trim panels could develop when the technician is standing upon he tdoor opening while cutting, cleaning, or applying glass sealant, and perhaps put his/her weight on the trim panel using hand, forearm, or elbow.

 

Were you able to retrieve the blown-off trim panel, in order to determine if it was retained only by the trim clips, or if it also showed adhesive remnants on the trim panel, or if the panel wasn't recovered -- on the corresponding roof structure?

 

Good luck!

 

I was unaware that it blew off until we got home. The roof is clean no busted clips no glue. And the front corner is coming up now and I  can see a clip missing. The windshield replacement is the only body work ever done on this car. And of course Safelite doesn’t want to take responsibility. I can’t find anything on instructions for windshield replacement to know if they removed it or not. 

I have a 2015 with the panoramic roof and that side trim blew off after having the windshield replaced. Does that trim need to be removed to replace the windshield?
