Hello everyone, sorry if this has been posted before.

The rubber trim between the windshield and moonroof (See picture) comes loose once in a while. I have to pull aside and push it back into place otherwise it’s super noise due to the wind. Any permanent solution? How do I glue it down for good? Any good product?



I have a 2006 Scion tC.

Thanks

I haven't got a good look at what mechanical parts are directly beneath that piece but I've been messing with adhesives lately. If you want to run a trial and see if gluing it down would work, you can try gorilla glue, white, ("bonds wood, stone, metal, ceramics, foam, glass, etc").

IMO it doesn't do well as a permanent solution to smooth surfaces or "hard", hefty materials.. especially since we are dealing with pieces on the exterior of the car, where it'll face the elements. If you want to give a trial run, I'd recommend this. Doesn't break apart unless you stick it into very small crevices so you can peal it off and then apply a permanent solution.

If there are no mechanical parts underneath or nothing that'll be affected by glue, you can just go right to it with epoxy. Stuff is mighty tough. I've been using it on different projects as an engineering major. As with any other adhesives, make sure you clean the surfaces before applying. They can pretty much bond anything but you can find epoxies for specific applications too.

Thanks for the advise. I just bought the 3M 08008 Black Super Weatherstrip Adhesive, which looks it'll get the job done based on Amazon reviews. Thanks

I had that problem. Used some superglue and it never came up again...

Yeah, that happened to my old tC, it is only pressure held. I had a windshield replacement guy at my dealership put some type of glue bead in it and it was never a problem again.
