I wrote: Heading along the A27 today and the moment I hit cruising speed there was a ptoing and suddenly the car seemed to have grown a wing aerial in my peripheral vision.
In fact the rubber trim that protects the A-pillar had come away at the top. When I pulled in at the next parking bay, it looked like this (sorry for crappy phone pic):
I pressed it firmly back into place and did the rest of the day's driving. When I got home it was still in place, but loose. Is the trim meant to be glued down? It seems damn flimsy when just clipped into place - there's only a clip at the top.
Has this happened to anyone else?

XM's are great cars, and Laura needs educating.
Never had that happen to me, although having a D12 detonate itself in the middle of Gloucestor in rush hour was more, er, "entertaining"....
