Default little ttop part???

As you can tell by the thread title, I don't even know what to tell this thing. It has been bugging me since I bought the car and I don't know what to do about it.

It is a little rubber piece at the very back of the t-bar and it is always sticking up/popping out on the driver side (as seen in pic below). I've tried pushing it back in with the top in and out, but nothing works. Has anybody else had this problem, or at least know what to do about it? Thanks

If it's damaged beyond repair, go to the dealer and get a new one. They're like $1 a piece, but you have to buy 10 of them minimum.

Yeah I looked at it more closely, it is just glued, not stuck under the bar. Mine is still in good enough shape that I can mess with it while putting the top in and get it to look right. Maybe I'll put some kind of glue on it.
