Windshield weatherstrip lifted with heat! Help.
K guys. I live in a region that gets 110*. So just recently, my driver side windshield weatherstrip began to lift up and out of the gap I between the glass and body. What kind of adhesive can I use to stick this sucker down?

If I were you!!!I would call a glass man to come to the house and have a new seal installed.
It can't be that expensive!!I had a new w/s and seal installed for less than $200 and they came to the house.

Yeah, windshields are cheap (considering their size anyways), and can make a big difference in the car's overall appearance from behind the wheel. Depending on how much rain you get, a seal that far out of whack can cause serious rust issues over time.
Also your photo just reminded me that I need to paint my t-top side trim.

Re: Windshield weatherstrip lifted with heat! Help.
I would get a new windshield, but I need to prep the whole area because the clearcoat is beginning to peel. So until I get the whole body sanded prepped and repainted, then I'm considering on replacing the glass. But as for now, is there any recommendations to glue the trim down?

Use some 3M weatherstripping adhesive for now.
