Dodgy Bit...
well chaps this could be nout. but anything out of the ordinary on megane scares me, so here it is.
the black plastic mold at the bottom of the windscreen. one section about 4-5 inches of it has lifted up about a 1/4 inch or so off the window. when i lifted abit more to look in. it LOOKS like there a white clip but when i push on it it doesnt seem to catch anything. would i have to pull it out and have a look to try and fix it. or could i just (and this may sound stupid) like use silicon to stick the bit thats sittin' of the windscreen down??
i dont like it sittin' up cause water could get in, now the water might just drain straight out, but again... its a meg so better safe than sorry.
i will try and get a pic up after work incase what im sayin' doesn't make alot of sense.

O.K FOLKS..Took my trim off to see if i could help here...
Three pix to look at..the white clips on the trim actually hold it in place but they hook under the w/screen, so i dont think they'll just push back..anyway its a five min. job...
You'll need a long nose pliers and a flat medium screwdriver..
First remove the 2 black plastic screw fixings at the end of the trim..obvious..btw they are the hardest part of this i found..to those that dont know ,you only need a quarter turn, then get your nails/fingers under the screw part. .the whole thing comes out
Next..remove the side trim..theres a green fixing pin just inside the bonnet hinge pic 1....you need to squeeze this with the pliers..it pops quite easily...next gently prise off the trim with the screwdriver (you may be more comfortable putting some tape around it) , its held with 2 pop off's ,white in the pic.1...
Next..lift out and frontwise the trim(pic.2) slightly to expose the trim clips (white).....pic.3
Easy...Depending how long your trim has been misplaced ,it may have taken up that shape and still stand proud when replaced..i would say leave it as the heat from the sun (hopefully) may help it back to shape..or if youre brave stick a hot air gun on it for a few seconds.....
As usual refit is a reversal of the removal..
