The problem is on my right rear door. The weatherstripping that runs along the bottom of the window lifts up a little bit up front:




Water doesn't leak through it and all I have to do is push it down:




The problem is, it's only a matter of time before it lifts up again. Has anybody had this problem? What's the best way to fix this? Thanks!

Yes signe I thick you are referring to the molding lifting up near the edge (back of door)
like coming up a bit away from the painted surface?
Fix is a polyurethane sealant and a great one is Marine grade Sikaflex.
Roofing urethane is also cheap and sticks like the dickens.
Just apply some under the molding where it is coming up and that should hold it down well.

Mine does that to a certain extent, I just push it down every time I wash it. No issues.

For starters, thanks for everyone's input.

I had somebody at a body shop fix it. He used an industrial glue called "Q-Dry" to fix it. Guess how much he charged me? Nothing. He wouldn't take anything. With a smile on his face, he told me to have a good weekend.

Maybe there are some good people left in this world.
