Default Window stripping comming off!!

Just like the topid says. The window stripping on the drivers side of the windshield is pealing away slowly. What do you guys suggest to fix this problem? Let me know if you want to see a picture of it, I can pop one ont he digital and post if you.

I used some 3500 psi epoxy here and it holds great. It cost about $5. It's kinda a PITA to sit their and hold it for 10 min while it sets but if you could fund some that set up in 5 min that would be better.
