Haha, I took mine back to the dealer and was like, "Look, I just bought the car, and I didn't pay all this money for my weather stripping to come loose!"

They replaced the entire windsheild under warranty!

Try the dealer, if you still got your warranty!

Lucky for you, your dealer is STUPID! They gave you brand new windshield to fix something that would have taken a tube of silicone sealant to fix.

As for the topic at hand, that rubber strip is NOT a seal. It's purely cosmetic to fill in the gap between the glass and the frame. Mine's been popping in and out for nearly 6 years. A different spot pops out and then it pops itself back in later and another spot does it. I can sometimes massage it back if I felt like wasting time on it. Using silicone is also a somewhat drastic "fix" in the event you have to change a windshield one day. I may be annoying to some, but it's not a big deal.
