Unhappy Window trim

The silver window trim thing above my windshield is coming off, any suggestions on how to hold it on? Or do I need to take it to someplace that installs windshields..? It's been like this a while but it's gettin worse..excuse the muddy windshield , anyway, thanks for reading.

Cure All

Black RTV silicone is seems to be the cure-all for loose trim. The last time I had a side window replaced on my Celica, they reaffixed the trim with black RTV. Good Stuff!!

Maybe you should change your screen name to "mudbrown95Runner"

You are only going to fix that by having a new windshield put in and that top mldg. replaced.. If you have $0 deductiable glass you are all set (just need to add a crack ) I changed mine to the all black ones when I had the last glass put in.. But don't bother with RTV, it looks bent to me and will never fit correct.. Go with a new windshield, you probably could use one anyway...

PS, that top mldg is held in place by the window ureathane.. PITA to try to re-glue. Don't know of anyother way to do it correct..

Hehe, thanks I'll try it out tomorrow.
I have cleaned her off a bit since that picture was taken though haha, it was from entertaining a friend of mine, she seemed to enjoy having me go through huge / deep puddles... but not a bad idea on the name change..

I can't afford a new windshield, and it's a pain to be without the vehicle while they work on it, because it's how I have to get to school, anyway, I'll try my luck with the silicone stuff and hope it holds for a while at least...
