Hi 

When i owned my last yeti i some how managed to lose the front plastic moulding for the roof bars on the passenger front side , I went and replaced it by buying a new one from skoda thinking this was just a one off experience.

I then  changed my yeti for another just before the new year to a lauren and klement version with the silver finish roof bars but while washing the car i noticed that both rear mouldings seemed loose. i was amazed to find that i can simply unclip both mouldings with no real trouble at all.....quite frankly im amazed at this...

im going to need to think of a way to make them more secure......any ideas?

Clear Bostik or EvoStick.

still seems mad that you have to glue the trim onto a 3 yr old car 

They obviously don't ALL fall off

Have you closely examined the moulding to see if the critical area is neatly trimmed with no moulding 'dags' left on?.

Just a thought

If it still under warranty then take it to a dealers and get them to sort it out. Several others had had their's done

going to go back to my local dealer....as its pretty poor...when i ordered the first moulding on my other yeti the spare parts guy told me oh weve sold a few of these....so they obviously know its a problem

......and they'll get out the silicon gun again

You can always fit a black cable tie over the plastic, I don't think they will survive a car wash without some other method of attachment.

Mine have, old one and new one.

I cannot take that seriously, not because I believe the cable tie wouldn't cope, but because why should you put a 1p cable tie on to do a job that the dealer should sort out correctly without looking like an absolute balls up. [i must admit though to using clear cable ties on my winter wheel trims.]
