Default Question about Window!!

I recently discovered that the Rubber piece on the outside of my window that (I assume) protects the window from sliding up, is coming loose. When the window goes up it pulls the rubber up with it. Its also can be moved when window is down or up in place. Suggestions on how I can change or fix this? Maybe a tough glue? Help please.

rubber cement or any rubber adhesive should hold that back in. Most likely it was a pressure fit from the factory and either it aged and got loose or the glue they used at the factory finally gave up and now it's pulling down. Rubber adhesive would work fine to put it back in place.

Not sure if you live around a radio control hobby shop or not, but look into some tire glue.

This is similar to Crazy Glue/super glue but much more flexible for rubber.

I have seen this used to not only glue tires onto wheels, but also to fix rips/patch tires up on the track.

Start by carefully spraying some silicone lubricant on the seal and in the channels. With a bit of luck the rubber won't then bunch up.
