No pressure washer allowed near my truck anymore

So I was lazy and wanted to use my gas pressure washer (which needed to be ran hadn't been started in a while). I go to town on my windshield to blow off some bug splats and the water starts lifting up the lip of the windshield gasket.



It looks fine now but I'm wondering how much water I blew into places it doesn't need to be like under the headliner.

So the pressure washer doesn't get near my truck anymore.

Never seen that before, I have a 2400 PSI Gas pressure washer that I use when one of my trucks needs a wash, never had that happen. Maybe when they install the windsheild and gasket when the truck was being built they didnt have it the gasket bonded well to the windsheild

If the windshield has been replaced, the aftermarket trim is nothing like factory.

Exactly what acecase said. I had the trim on my old 7.3 come loose at the very beginning of a cross country road trip. Luckily I had some silicone and used that to hold it in place. When I got my windshield replaced a year later, I mentioned it to the glass tech and he mentioned something about the trim. The windshield he installed had the trim almost molded into the glass and looked a lot better. I never had a trim problem after that.
