The PO told me that the windshield trim kept blowing off so he left it off. I installed the chrome trim off of my parts car three years ago and have been on several high speed runs without problems.
Today the center clip blew off at 95MPH and almost immediately the right side trim blew off as well. Is there a way to attache the trim so that I can be sure that it will not come off again? Attached image(s) |

...your trim pieces were probably distorted. I would put my money on the plastic clips being the problem. I'd have them replaced. You'll have to remove the windshield by cutting through the butyl seal with wire, remove the glass, clean the entire surface area, replace all of the clips and reinstall the windshield. New trim as well, especially since you've lost half of it. If you remaining trim pieces are good (meaning not scratched or dinged up) just buy the missing pieces or all of them.
