Windshield trim

Had my windshield replaced recently. I noticed some increased wind noise and found that the exterior trim on the side of the windshield was loose at the bottom. I can lift it with my fingers as shown below very easily on the driver’s side, a little on the passenger side as well.

Curious if others’ trim is loose in this spot too or if the windshield installer maybe broke a clip or something.

I believe that piece is held entirely in place by double sided foam rubber tape and there are no clips. The same piece was loose on my 2021 X6, but from the middle of the windshield all the way to the top (passenger side). It made a loud rattling sound while driving on the highway. The plastic had separated from the foam rubber because the adhesive had dried out. The foam rubber was still stuck firmly to the glass. I stuck the plastic back down to the foam rubber with double sided carpet tape (paper thin, damn sticky stuff!). Basically just replacing the adhesive... Yours could be trickier since it's at the bottom.

Hi
I have had 3 windscreens in my various G05s and I know what this is. their are about 3or 4 clips that clic in the trim, on my G05 the clip had been turned around/ or put on upside down and the trim didn’t sit flush, I actually didn’t notice it but my windscreen company did ! Hope that helps.
My issue was towards the bottom of the windscreen
