I just noticed that the black rubber trim that is at the bottom of the rear windshield and trunk is loose and pops right off the window. How is that stuff on there? Should I just use some silicone to stick it back onto the windshield?

I just noticed this on my 01 GT as well. A portion of the weatherstripping is loose. What should I use to put it back tight like the rest of the weatherstripping?

I used a clear drying silicone sealant and it has yet to come loose. Just use a thin bead down in the groove of the trim and slip it back onto the window. You can hold it in place for a few minutes, if you want, just to be sure it sets up in a decent looking position.

Must be a common problem. Same thing happened on my '03. Got it fixed under warranty. However, if you have no warranty left, I would second the previous post about using the clear silicone.

Yeah its common, my car used to be the same way. I used the clear silicone trick also, just be careful not to put to much
