Window A Pillar blown away at a car wash

Window A Pillar blown away at a car wash during the power dry process.

Took it to the service center and they said both side of the A pillar are wobbly and it might be just a Maxima problem.

I got that fixed anyway but I'm a bit disappointed my car seems to have several issues after I bought it used.

Those car wash air blowers can shoot winds up to 64,000 feet per minute. I've had my mirrors blown backwards and my window visors blown off so I use them cautiously.

That would definitely dry the car, if it would stay on the ground.

I had a rear molding piece come loose from using the automatic car washes...Dealer wanted 250 to replace. I used some double sided tape and haven't had another issue....bought a pressure washer from Lowes (low enough PSI for cars) and wash in the drive way...too many swirl marks from the automatic car washes anyway..

My car dealership fixed it for 40$ and all it took was just putting it back. Damn.. for your situtation tho.
We don't expect it happen for a 40k+ car..

What he said! Car washes beat up these cars a lot.
