On 4/13/25 while driving my car on the highway, along with my 2 young children, I began to hear what initally sounded like a "flapping" noise.

I also noticed that the framing between the panel and windshield was not right. It sort of was "popped" outward. There was no warning regarding this failure. I had hand washed the vehicle 3 days prior and everything looked fine. I have had conversation
