I'm finishing up my headliner, and working on putting the window trim back on. I'm talking about the gasket that goes around the rear windows, since I have a coupe it's the triangle shaped ones. I know the gaskets are suppose to be a little big and tight, but mine keep popping off. Even before the headliner, the right side would constantly pop off. If anyone has tips, I'd appreciate it. I won't be super gluing it, FYI.

I do have some 3M yellow stuff trim glue. It seems the glue from the factory is suppose to get sticky and never dry. At least that's what's currently on my trim. Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

PS- Crap, I named the thread wrong. It's suppose to be Window trim tip. Lousy home keys.

Well, closing the vent window helped keep it in place. I washed the car last night too, no leaks. Phew.

It looks like you might have a "tight" area somewhere else along the length of the rubber trim.

Start at one corner and try to walk the rubber away from the bulging area. Almost try to push the rubber into the corners, this should take up some of the excess.
