Sliding Rear Window Rubber Seal

Sliding Rear Window Rubber Seal
The top rubber seal, the part that actually touches the top of the sliding rear window, has for the 2nd time become loose. Took to dealer the first time and they glued it back in. Now, about a month later it is dangling again.
I have some weatherstip sealer myself, I have used it to sure up my figerglass bed cover weatherstrip. Maybe it is stronger that what the dealer used.
Anyone having recurring problems with the window or know of the best fix for this thing?
thx

I have only had my slider open on my new '02 and noticed the other day that the weather strip was hanging down a bit on one side. I pushed it back up but haven't had the slider open since. Post again if the glue you use holds better than what the dealer used and let us know what kind of glue you used. Thanks.

OK. I will post if/when I use my glue. For the record, it is 3M Weatherstip and Gasket adhesive. It is yellow, and for that reason I would have to be extremely careful trying to glue the window strip in without the glue showing.
I was hoping someone else here had this window issue and maybe had a better fix. Before long, I guess I will experiment with my yellow stuff if I don't see any better ideas! Or, maybe give the dealer another shot since it is still a warranty issue.
Right now, only a portion of the window strip is loose, so I can tuck it in and make it stay for the time being.
I will let you know how it goes...

Damn. The same seal has come loose again on the new window.
I tried to glue it with super glue,,, that lasted a week. I open that window a fair amount for flow thru air and to get to that hard to reach spot on my fiberglass cover when washing the truck.
Again, anyone else having this problem?

Rear Window Seal
Hey tbbr,
The upper seal of my rear slider also became dislodged. Instead of taking it to the dealer for repair, I went and bought some Permatex Weatherstrip Adhesive and applied some new glue to the top and all is well for 3 months now.
Some things aren't worth taking to the dealer for a fix when you can probably do a better job your self!

Superbeast or anyone else please:
How can I get the dealer to put on the upgraded 03 style rear window seal on my 2002 Screw? My dealer is saying Ford will not pay to put the 03 part on the 02 vehicle. If I want that done, it will all have to be out of my pocket.
I have appt tomorrow morning to replace the window (again). Sure would like that upgraded seal!
