I have an air gap/leak at the base of the driver's side windshield. I've pointed it out to the dealership who will fix the trim next time it's in. Just wondering if anyone else notices this issue.

Is this one you can see, or hear? Maybe it’s the triangular door corner trim?
I can feel the breeze with my hand when I place my fingers at the intersection of the glass and dash.

To update, it's the hole by the speaker that the air is blowing through.

Yes I had that. I ended up adjusting my windshield frame. It has almost 1.5 inches of adjustment. I also added the foam as the factory foam is pretty hap hazardly installed. Autoparts store have closed cell foam with the adhesive built in.

Where did you spray the foam?

I did not spray it. The foam over the hinge is foam I added. It has a 3m tape on it so I just stuck it on.

In his picture, the windshield is laid down on the hood. With that perspective in mind you can see the black foam he put on the bottom corner of the windshield and up over the windshield hinge.
