2 Roof And Pillar problem

Failure Date: 07/05/2021

The failed component is the roof rail caps. One of mine came off on the car wash. The other roof rail cap keeps coming loose just driving around, I have to check the second roof rail cap so it too does not fly off on the highway or come off in the car wash. I now have just the one roof rail cap and it looks terrible.
