Lower windshield weatherstripping messed up

[NMBruce]

Has anyone else seen this problem?
The lower windshield weatherstripping is not staying on the windshield. The plastic piece is really easy to move and push down.
I am thinking of using some tape or weatherstripping of some type.

Yes. I was cleaning my windshield once and put my hand on that plastic piece. Part of the weather stripping ended up under the windshield. I was able to finesse the weather stripping back in to place using a plastic putty knife while gently pressing down on the plastic. Its not 100% back to normal.

I guess Toyota didn’t do a good job of making this piece

I’d run a small bead of silicon on it to hold it down and seal it a touch. Then next time you go to replace the windshield, have that replaced too

I could pull the wiper arms and reset this piece

Ok

Ok

Looked at it a little closer, not sure what can be done until it’s pulled apart. Pulling up at the glass does nothing, the plastic drops right back down.
