Default Ideas on fixing this...

Here is a picture of the black triangular piece that is at the back and bottom of the window. As you can see there is a rather large gap between the sail panel and the body. Anyone have an idea in how I can fix or reduce this gap? If I try pushing it against the body, I have a feeling it would snap and I don't think any sort of adhesive would be strong enough to keep it in place. I was thinking of maybe getting some small rubber hose and stuff it inbetween there to make it look better. I think it would match the weatherstripping rather well. What do you guys think?

Prolly gonna have to take it to the dealer and they can fix it, i believe they are just glued on thats why alot of people have problems with them. Ive heard they are a factory defect along with the pillar on F-Bodies.

So is it some sort of recall? I can see all the glue up under it holding it on the body, it just seems that maybe they didn't get it tight enough on the body.

Ive heard of some guys just taking it to the dealer and they fix it for little to no charge b/c of the factory defect.

Kidding, aren't those triangular pieces held on by a stud? Can't you get some new triangular pieces from the dealership? (they're cheap)

The triangle thingy is held on by 2 sided tape.

You are correct, it is held on by two sided tape, but the problem is that it is attached to the sail panel, which is not all the way flush.
