Tech Bulletin about windshield molding
Tomh mentioned this in another thread. I'm pasting it in this new thread to focus more attention on it:
I just checked my windshield molding, and there appears to be a gap between it and the glass on the driver's side. I haven't noticed any wind noise, so I guess it's possible my dealer already fixed it, but I'm going to check anyway. When was this tech bulletin issued?

Anyways, about the technical service bulletin, there is a wind noise taht comes from the upper front wind-shield molding area not being properly secured to the body, thus is could have also caused a waqter leak if let un-toucehed over a little time, honda had found this issue a day in advanced and advised all dealer to how to fix the problem before they can sell teh vehicles! Thus meaning this is not something that new owners have to worry about, the thread started forgot to or just didn't care to tell teh full truth about this, just mainly to state how ugly he thinks the car is.

Applies To: 2007 Fit – From VIN JHMGD3....S000001 thru JHMGD3....S008480
2007 Fit: Wind Noise at the Top of the Windshield
SYMPTOM
Wind noise may be heard from the top of the
windshield at highway speeds.
PROBABLE CAUSE

the windshield molding may cause it to vibrate.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Fill the channel above the upper windshield molding
with silicone sealant.
REQUIRED MATERIALS
3M Black Super Silicone Sealant:
3M P/N 051135-08662
(One tube repairs three vehicles.)
3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner:
3M P/N 051135-08984
(One container repairs six vehicles.)
WARRANTY CLAIM INFORMATION
In warranty: The normal warranty applies.
Operation Number: 831004
Flat Rate Time: 0.5 hour
Failed Part: P/N 73150-SLN-003
H/C 8325664
Defect Code: 00401
Symptom Code: 00101
Template ID: 06-019A

Out of warranty: Any repair performed after warranty
expiration may be eligible for goodwill consideration by
the District Parts and Service Manager or your Zone

REPAIR PROCEDURE
1. Look at the upper, right-hand corner of the
windshield for a small round sticker. This sticker
was applied at the port to indicate that the vehicle
has been inspected, and a repair is not required.
• If the vehicle does not have this sticker, go to
step 2.
• If the vehicle has this sticker, the vehicle is OK,
and no further action is required.
2. To protect the paint, apply a 2-inch strip of masking
tape to the roof next to the edge of the upper
windshield molding.

3. Cut off the tip of the 3M Black Super Silicone
Sealant tube applicator at the first groove. Lightly
file the outside diameter of the applicator tip so that
it barely fits into the gap between the molding and
the roof.
4. Using a plastic card (credit card or something
similar), pull up the outer edge (lip) of the molding
at the middle of the windshield. Working toward the
side of the windshield, fill the entire channel under
the molding with the sealant.
5. Move to the other side of the vehicle, and then
repeat step 3.
6. Lightly push down on the molding to smooth it out
and form an even seal.
7. Wait for 5 minutes, and then remove the masking
tape.
8. Using a shop towel and 3M General Purpose
Adhesive Cleaner, clean off any excess sealant.
Cut off the first segment
of the applicator tip.
Start at the middle and work outward.
